Fr. White & Bishop Knestout - Some Interesting Comments...

 

Although Fr. White and Bishop Knestout are no longer part of the Archdiocese of Washington and are now both part of the Diocese of Richmond, their story has roots here.   

Fr. Z gives an update to the story on his blog, but what I find really interesting are the comments.  

This leads me to my original premise that something happened between them.  Could it have been the sermon on Humanae Vitae?   Could Fr. White have been called to meet in Hyattsville over this with +Knestout?

As I have said, and others speculate, there is much more to what is going on in Richmond than meets the eye.  And the roots to the matter are here in this Archdiocese.

On a separate note to the person who sends me the long, rambling comments.  Thank you for reading.  However, if you are interested in being published, please stay on the topic and not go off to all sorts of other stuff.  Thanks.

 

Fr. Mark White: Interview by Church Militant

 Fr. Mark White, a priest in the Diocese of Richmond, was recently interviewed by Church Militant.

As some of you know, Fr. Mark White was ordained in the Archdiocese of Washington by Cardinal McCarrick.  Also, as you know, Bishop Knestout was part of the Archdiocese of Washington, at the time.  

At some point, Fr. White asked to leave the diocese and managed to be reassigned to the Diocese of Richmond.  A few years later, Bishop Knestout was assigned as the Bishop of the Diocese of Richmond.

It is interesting to watch, but what I found most interesting, starting at the 29 min. mark, was something mentioned by Fr. White.  He talks about a comment made by Bishop Knestout about an "old wound."   

Now, in my conversations with Melvin, when all of this started, I discussed the fact that I believe that something happened between Fr. White and Bishop Knestout (or maybe Cardinal Wuerl) at some point, while both were in the Archdiocese of Washington, but I don't know for certain.  This may be what Bishop Knestout referred to?

In addition, I speculated to Melvin, that Fr. White might know something, that others are worried that may come out.  Fr. White alludes to this.

Listen to all of it, or at least from the 29 min. mark to the end.
