No, it is not me.
Do yourself a favour Father; before you sue her, do a search for Vox and Rosica!
But first, read this, just in case you failed Scripture in seminary.
1 Corinthians 6 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
Lawsuits among Believers
6 When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous[a] instead of the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life! 4 If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no man among you wise enough to decide between members of the brotherhood, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
7 To have lawsuits at all with one another is defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 But you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that even your own brethren.
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral,[b] nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[c][d] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Fr. Dan Fitzpatrick
This is not a spoof post. This actually happened.
So my in previous article I wrote about how Fr James Martin SJ and Fr. Dan Fitzpatrick had been tweeting about how the Holy Spirit was female:
And how both of them had been sharing posts saying that ‘Ireland is for gay marriage because it is Catholic’.
And I gave them both a jolly good clip round the ear about openly contradicting the teachings of the Catholic church. Well, this morning I got a message from Fr Dan threatening me with legal action because I was ‘defaming his character’.
I messaged him back saying:
“Would you like to tell me the 2 statements that cause you upset? I would be happy to rephrase anything that is not correct.”
He messaged back with:
Edited out some of the abusive comments??! I did nothing of the sort! The truth is that there were no abusive comments to begin with. It is all there in black and white, clear as crystal for the whole world to read. There was however an extremely abusive comment from a lady who seems to hate me. I was able to track her IP address to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Does anyone know who Christine Wright from is?
Anyway, I wrote back to Fr. Dan saying:
“Again, if you tell me exactly what 2 statements are bothering you, I am happy to rephrase them. From a legal point of view, because I have offered to amend any offending statements, the problem can be resolved and there is no reason to take the matter further. Your solicitor will be able to explain this to you in more detail.
Besides, suing me because I pulled you up on calling the Holy Spirit ‘her’ is going to be rather difficult for you as what you said is in direct contradiction to the Catholic faith!
As I said before, the best thing you can do now is to admit you didn’t understand the ancient Hebrew, and stop listening to Fr James Martin. I’m throwing you a life line here! I gave you the chance to put your side across before I wrote the article. I’m giving you another chance now to redeem yourself. Don’t waste it. I will always support priests who defend the churches teaching. Come back to us Fr Dan. Don’t sell yourself out. I couldn’t bear to watch that happen to a young priest. All my prayers and fasting next week is for you xx”
A few hours later I was alerted to the fact that Fr. Dan had posted a rather bizarre Tweet:
WHAT???!!! I did nothing of the sort! What am I supposed to be apologising for?
I’m afraid to tell you that I did no such thing. This is a bare faced lie from Fr Dan, obviously trying to close down the whole affair because he realises by this point that I am not one to be scared off by threats or bullying. But wait.. there’s more! Then his best mate Fr Marc Lyden-Smith gets on board:
I’m sorry – am I missing something here?! Has everyone seen this alleged apology except me?! Can anyone tell me what I apologised for?!
Fr Marc is the other half of the duo ‘The PodFathers’ With Fr Dan. You can hear their pod casts at http://thepodfrs.blogspot.co.uk/
‘The PodFathers’ – Fr. Dan Fitzpatrick and Fr Marc Lyden-Smith
Actually Fr Marc seems rather pleasant in the above Tweet. Much more pleasant than he was last night:
Hmmm… Where’s all your feel good peace and love gone Fr. Marc?
And then of course there was this:
I’m not sure Faith in Our Families has ever been described as an offensive blog before?! But I guess there is a first time for everything! I also guess it’s good news that I have ‘seen sense’ and deleted all these fictitious libellous comments!
Please – Fr Dan, could you produce these libellous comments for us all to see? No, I didn’t think so.
What appalling behaviour from 2 Catholic priests. It’s just embarrassing. I will be speaking to their Bishop.
Well, time is ticking on. There is only a few hours left until midnight, when Fr Dan will launch his legal campaign against me. Although I’m not sure what suing a Mum of 3 with a recovering husband will do to for his already damaged reputation. He certainly wont get any money out of us – as regular readers of this blog know, our family has not had an income for over 18 months now!
Someone please notify Michael Voris would you?! And the CDF while you are at it! I’ve got a headache…

Priests like these need never to have been ordained! What kind of Catholic Priest speaks like this? Go Christine! the world knows truth when it sees it as Vox and I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing this passed Lent; and what a Lent it was. God Bless you for your good works.
I don't want to be in that priest (priestess'?) "family."
This priest is a malefactor. His thuggish behaviour has not gone unnoticed. A typical liberal, he is all smiles, when you agree with him.... but challenge him and out come the talons.... I have news for this man, try to sue this woman, and he will make a serious error. Has he not heard of Fr.Thomas Rosica?
This so called 'Priest' and his 'friend' need to be sacked, like yesterday. The reason that is not happening? Like I've said before, the wolves have taken over the hen house. They are emboldened by our lack of faithful hierarchy. I like what Michael Matt said in his 'Remnant' about another ridiculous cleric: 'Get the h_ _ _ out of our Church Fr.! This was a headline for one of his articles. It applies in this case as well.
Could the Church kindly start ordaining men who have grown up first before being allowed to wear the Roman collar?
As I stated in my own post about this matter, we should complain to the parish and to the diocese, in addition to disseminating this information far and wide.
The wolves in sheep clothing are trying to silence the people who know what they are because they are afraid more people will find out.
Yep, I did respond directly to the Parish, addressing my response directly to 'Fr.'. You can do it charitably but in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. Restore-DC-Catholicism has the contact info in the post. Hop on over there, and the link will take you directly there. It's way past time that we all stand firmly for the faith, loudly, clearly and charitably correcting the error strongly, but not attacking the dissenter. Are we or are we not the CHURCH MILITANT?!
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!
The Society of Jesus should think about placing a disclaimer on any of their material explicitly stating that what is contained in said material is not really Catholic. It might help young impressionable clerics who possess ideological "drifts" to not get caught up in compromising positions as the one described above.
Hell hath no fury like a female blogger scorned!
I predict that bloggers will destroy the Church. This priest is young. A little charity would go a long way.
A little charity does indeed go a long way, so I recommend that the reverend father next removes his nasty tweet about the Queen.
It is scandalou that this priest has received such a poor education in the Catholic Faith, not to mention in the English language.

These young priests are too worldly and vain. The hierarchy claim that there is a priest shortage and have very little time for pastoral duties but young priests have time to be frivolous and sinful. They have no time to administer extreme unction to the dying. You won't find these young priests visiting the sick at hospitals or hearing confessions either.
Bloggers aren't destroying the Church.
It is the sodomist priests who raped and molested children. It is the sodomist priests who interrupt the Mass to tell the congregation that he is not celibate but a practicing sodomist. Evil sinful bishops and cardinals denying Jesus Christ by condoning and promoting same sex marriage and divorce. They are destroying the Church by doing Satan's work.
They want to sue people of Christ because they hate the truth and think they can add to their profits.

The behaviour of these priests is diabolic. They are promoting depravity and heresy. They ought to be defrocked and not leading other souls to perdition. Lord, grant us the necessary graces to persevere during this Great Apostasy.
No surprise James Martin S.J. believes in the Father, Son and She-Ghost. Typical of the modernist that he is, he cites the real meaning of the original Hebrew which of course is a female word. Holy New Testament Batman. Another big revelation from a Jesuit genius. How did the Church miss it over 2000 years? Thank you Father (or is it Sister, Lady, Progenitor #1).
I called out Fr. James Martin, S.J. on his tweets regarding the Holy Spirit on the same day he posted them, and it got me promptly blocked.

I guess he was fresh out of "dialogue" that day.
Pray fervently for holy Priests and religious.
