Over the weekend, Life Site News had the privilege to head to Chicago to give the keynote address for the conclusion of the conference of the Coalition for Canceled Priests (C4CP). During my visit, I received discouraging news from one of LifeSiteNews’ very close sources that Bishop Strickland needed our urgent support and prayers!
Bishop Strickland received an apostolic visitation (an investigation which portends disciplinary measures) from the Vatican’s dicastery for Bishops. This visit comes as no real surprise since we suspected the bishop would receive backlash from within his own ranks for his outspoken and courageous witness for the constant teaching of the Church.
He recently traveled across the country to be the lone bishop to stand with over 5000 faithful Catholics and Christians in opposition to the anti-Catholic hate group being awarded by the LA Dodgers franchise. Moreover, his great love and concern for the faithful and for Pope Francis led him to publicly correct the Pope, saying that “it is time for me to say that I reject his program of undermining the Deposit of Faith. Follow Jesus.”
The day before this urgent news broke, I sat down with LifeSiteNews’ Liz Yore and Fr. Altman for an in-person recording of “Faith and Reason.” During our taping, in an almost prophetic fashion, Fr. Altman warned us, stating “Just you wait and see, they will be coming for Bishop Strickland next”. And on the very next day, on the feast of St. John the Baptist, members of the deep church came to intimidate America’s Bishop!
Bishop Strickland’s apostolic visit was a clear and intended message meant to intimidate him and YOU. This playbook isn’t new, we've seen these tactics in history before. But we aren't going to be intimidated, in fact we are going to be ready to defend America’s bishop who stands in front for us, in defense of Jesus Christ!
My email and phone have been going nonstop since this news developed! Dedicated donors and readers are pleading with me and my team to continue to stand tall and support Bishop Strickland. We must heed the words of the late Bishop of America Fulton J. Sheen: “Who’s going to save our Church? It’s not our bishops, it’s not our priests and it is not the religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that the priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops, and the religious act like religious.”
Dan, even though we were in the midst of a conference doing show recordings and interviews, we immediately activated our international network of prayer warriors seen only in the LifeSiteNews family -- prayer warriors just like you who support devout leaders like Bishop Strickland.
As we continue to see attacks against our faith and families, Dan, I ensure you, our loyal supporters, and readers, LifeSiteNews will trust in God and stand with Bishop Strickland as he unwaveringly speaks the truth despite the persecution he receives.
Father Altman is awesome. I was part of his last parish before the idiots and offended dems said he hurt their "fee-fees" and the Bishop kicked him out with no second thought. The Bishop is a real piece of work. I met him after that whole debacle concerning Altman and he was nothing but smiles, even though he just exiled our one and only fearless priest.
I've been able to meet with and see Father Altman many times after what happened, and you can see the pain and hurt in his eyes and hear it in his voice, even to this day. He was deeply hurt by what happened, and though he's still staying strong, you can tell he's not the same and may never be. Even so, there are so many of us real, faithful Catholics backing him up and praying for him constantly. I'm happy to say that I'm a part of a project he's undertaking, but I can't say too much about it. This project can only be known by people who don't want to destroy it, and sadly our own Bishop may do just that if he finds out.
