The Rev. David Verhasselt, the former pastor of St. Catherine of Alexander Catholic Church has found a new pastoral role outside the realm of the Roman Catholic Church.
Verhasselt was placed on leave from St. Catherine's after a lengthy church investigation found him guilty of indirectly violating the seal of confession.
Verhasselt will now pastor a startup church in Ashippun within the Evangelical Catholic Church's northwest diocese, which is not under papal mandate.
The Evangelical Catholic Church (ECC) offers several pastoral reforms [female pastors, contraception, Mary's perpetual virginity, etc] on hot-button societal issues that have long been matters of contention for many within the Roman Catholic Church. --quoted at BadgerCatholic
Aquinas: (II-II:11:1) defines heresy: "a species of infidelity in men who, having professed the faith of Christ, corrupt its dogmas".
The article describes him as "popular," without using the term 'tickling the ears...'

Aquinas' definition of heresy applies to Romney's false god, yes?
Dad29's in a conundrum...he despises "RINOS", yet tacitly supports two culprits in Romney and Ryan. Dad29 claims to strictly follow the teachings of the Bible, yet endorses a Mormon, whose beliefs directly runs counter to his faith. Something has to give for Dad29...ah, the hell with principles. Obama's evil, I'll cast my lot with his opponents, regardless if I bastardize the tenets I supposedly embrace and castigate anyone who points out the hypocrisy!
So far as I can tell from this distance, Dad29 'strictly' believes the Catholic Church's teachings.
And choosing the lesser of two evils--when necessary--does not run counter to those teachings.
After you've graduated from kindergarten, you may learn something about that.
Read the Aquinas quote again, Anony 1:16 p.m.
The alternative is NOT the RINOS in Romney and Ryan. Dad29 bludgeons us to death with how that group is destroying conservatism, yet enables that disease to fester by supporting them in elections.
NO! Take a firm stand. Say yes to principles. That is the ADULT thing to do.
Umnnhhhh....you have an alternative which will succeed in 1) getting elected and 2) rolling back Obozo-ism?
Please! Tell us about it!!
By the way, are you proposing that Ryan is a heretic?
If so, you don't know Aquinas.
"Umnnhhhh....you have an alternative which will succeed in 1) getting elected and 2) rolling back Obozo-ism?

Yeah, read your own advice...it's RINO season.
"By the way, are you proposing that Ryan is a heretic?"
Are you proposing that Ryan converted to Mormonism at the request of Romney?
A little too much cocaine this morning, Anony?
I sse your Christian values are coming through with flying colors, Dad29!
