Father Justin Wylie will be sent packing back to South Africa. He also lost his post as attaché of the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations.
Matt C. Abbot, Renew America: In New York City, there’s been talk (by the “powers that be” at the Archdiocese of New York) of closing certain parishes, including Holy Innocents Church, which offers the Traditional Mass.
Father John Zuhlsdorf recently wrote at his blog:
I have been sent part of a transcript of a sermon given in New York City by Father Justin Wylie at a favorite church of mine, Holy Innocents in the Garment District. Holy Innocents has been a great success story. However, a recommendation was made by a committee that it, along with Father George Rutler’s parish Saint Michael’s in Hell’s Kitchen, should be closed.
Father Wylie has some hard words, imbued with charity and priestly concern, to those who desire the traditional Roman Rite as well as to the priests and bishops who have, for decades, abused the same through neglect or outright persecution. And you know who you are.
