The head of a research and education organization dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church against assaults from without as well as from within is calling out a group of bishops and priests for stepping out of line from church teachings.
Michael Hichborn, founder of the Lepanto Institute, reports that two U.S. bishops and several priests have signed onto a pro-LGBT campaign asking the public to accept men who feign to be women as women. The two bishops are Archbishop [John] Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico and Bishop John Stowe of the Diocese of Lexington, Hichborn details. It should be noted that both of these bishops are directly affiliated with the heretical Association of United States Catholic Priests called the AUSCP.
