I have a video of the full speech that Bishop Gumbleton delivered at the Jesuit Teach-In at the SOA protest this year, and I will try to post it soon.
Bishop Gumbleton has been my rock. He is a godly and decent man. Do I agree with him on everything? No! He is, however, first and foremost a Priest. His ministry and advocacy clearly shows this. He is kind, decent generous and Christ-like. What a sad day for St. Leo's, the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Holy Catholic Church. Bishop, we love you and we know beyond doubt that you love us!! Pax Christi.
Splendid video of the most honorable priest or bishop I've ever met.
Please make a longer follow up video which includes Bishop Gumbleton's heroic work for peace and justice, including his participation in Voices in the Wilderness.
How moving to see everyone speak about what this vibrant parish and Bishop Gumbleton's ministry has meant to them. Clearly a power play is at work in silencing this man--but his supporters won't be silenced.
The action taken by the church against Bishop Gumbleton is a travesty. Think about the treatment Cardinal Law got with his "cover up." Gumbleton shines the light on justice and peace issues that others won't look at. Thank God for his courage!
In the Archdiocese of Detroit, it is common practice to allow priests and bishops to continue their ministry after they reach the retirement age of 75 if they wish. Instead, Bishop Gumbleton, a long-time advocate for those on the margins of church and society and a dedicated prophet for peace, is being removed from active ministry by the Vatican.
On December 17th, Bishop Tom Gumbleton announced that his request to continue ministry at St. Leo's Parish in Detroit had been denied by the Vatican. Catholics in Detroit are rising up to challenge the Vatican's decision and the local Cardinal's support of it.
