Should Resign

From the Legal
Office of Peter
for The Good of
the True Church

        For those who question this web site's opposition to men in positions of authority let it be said that with a well informed conscience one has not only the right but the duty to oppose those who are in opposition to God. 
        Those who act in obedience to those working in concert with satanic forces commit deadly sin.  Those capable of understanding what a well informed conscience is have the moral obligation to make investigations based upon truth and justice.  [Acts 4:18-20; Heb. 1:9]


And he told them a parable, "Can a blind person guide a blind person?
Will not both fall into a pit?  [Lk 6:39]

A Talking Toothless Tiger that Growls only when No Other Action is Acceptable

Talk is Cheap and as used by Ben XVI serves to be Satanically Deceptive

Even great words without corresponding action is meaningless.

His appointments of bishops have been and will,
for the most part, continue to serve Satan.

  1. When will he publicly announce and order all bishops to proclaim that voting for someone who is pro sodomy, pro abortion (choice), or to vote for someone who is an adulterer is a grave crime against God warranting eternal damnation.
  2. When will he see to it that those guilty of desecrating the Holy Eucharist, by allowing Jesus to be given to well known sinners, are publicly excommunicated.  This could start with Cardinals Law and Mahony.

Public statements to avert attention from Masonic deceptions being subversively promoted:
        Benedict XVI (Herr Joseph Ratzinger) is more interested in broadcasting nice sounding statements to the easily deceived than to directly oppose evil in the Church and in the world.  He does not excommunicate clearly heretical cardinals, bishops, catholic politicians and other highly offensive catholic public figures while he has both the authority and opportunity to do so.
        As a usurper of truth and justice he himself should be considered under automatic excommunication and therefore not protected by the 1917 Code of Canon Law - Can. 2343 §1, or the 1983 watered down Code of Canon Law - Can. 1370 §1.
        Both codes protect moral popes who fill the office, but do not protect a person who is in essence a layman by virtue of being excommunicated.  Knowledgeable persons like Ratzinger, and his predecessor Wojtyla, cannot claim ignorance of the teachings of God.

        Joseph Ratzinger, claimant to title of pope, produces many fine and authentic words but hypocritically does not even attempt to enforce them even though the position he holds demands that he do so for the good of the Church and the salvation of souls.
        Having repeatedly failed to remove errant cardinals such as Roger Michael Mahony of Los Angeles, Bernard Francis Law archpriest of St. Mary Major (former archbishop of pedophile infested Boston), and Cormac Murphy-O'Connor of Westminster, England, along with numerous other clearly sinful cardinals and bishops, he cannot rationally be seen as a moral (valid) pope.  Thus, it should be understood that he has no protection under The Code of Canon Law.

    Five dioceses have now filed for bankruptcy protection:
  1. San Diego, California – records of perverts have been destroyed for their protection.
  2. Davenport, Iowa
  3. Portland, Oregon
  4. Spokane, Washington
  5. Tucson, Arizona

How is it that bishops who have protected sex offenders have not been removed from ecclesiastical office?  Why are these evil men being protected unless men filling higher officers are also involved with these crimes?

Popes without Faith in or Love for Jesus:

        John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI.   None of the foregoing have opposed unrighteousness as did Pope Peter, the first true Vicar of Jesus.  When faced with the unrighteous he caused the death penalty.  [Acts 5:1ff]
        Recent popes, in regard to those deserving the death penalty, have all but eradicated God's demand for capital punishment as a needed deterrent for souls on the path to eternal damnation.  They have even failed to remove severely sinning bishops and cardinals.

  • Hebrews 10:26-29   If we sin deliberately after receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains sacrifice for sins but a fearful prospect of judgment and a flaming fire that is going to consume the adversaries.  Anyone who rejects the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses.  Do you not think that a much worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace?

        Ananias and his wife Sapphira did not fully honor their commitment.  They were both put to death through the power of the Holy Ghost when Peter confronted them [Acts 5:1-11].  Ministerial priests (includes bishops, cardinals and patriarchs) make even more important commitments to God.
        The above mentioned popes have done nothing against clerics unless there has been grave public outcry against them.  One cardinal forced by public opinion to resign his post was rewarded with a higher ranking Vatican office.  Evil men holding the office of pope are not true popes regardless of their legal title.  Like Lucifer they are masters of deceit and have the help of many in various secret societies.

  • 2 Tim. 4:3f   For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.


Protestants, Neo-catholics, and Muslims have something in common.  Without focusing on the core of a problem they diverge and go their own ways.  This cannot be nor is it the will of God.  If one truly believes in God then such person will be open to a new understanding that is not in conflict with that which has already been morally established.
        Over the centuries much poor and even erroneous theology has come into play.  As with philosophy, when a false premise is accepted and a later philosopher builds on that false premise, then further error is encompassed.  Any underlying error must be found and corrected before further development in either philosophy or theology can meaningfully take place.
        The teachings of Sacred Scripture are sound and internally consistent when viewed as a whole.  The original approved documents are accepted as being error free.  While copies and translations may not retain total correctness, due to human error or intent to encase one's own ideas, they as a whole are consistent with truth when viewed within the entirety of Scripture.  This internal consistency exists since it is impossible for one man or even a group of men to understand fully the entire content of Scripture.  Additionally, this is true because of the power of God to see to it that it does remain internally correct.
        Before false teachings and teachers can be removed, people of faith must unite under a systematic that points toward getting rid of problem makers and resolving problems that, at least in part, have developed over and existed for many centuries.


Benedict XVI is understood to be Automatically Excommunicated
Canons 1364 & 1367: An accomplice shares in the guilt of the offender.
Canon 1370 may apply only to popes (clerics) who morally hold office.
    1. St. Catherine of Siena – "We've had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence."
    2. Pope Felix III – "Not to oppose error is to approve it, and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them."
    3. Pope Leo I – "He that sees another in error and endeavors not to correct it, testifies himself to be in error."
    4. Pope Pius V – "All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics."
    5. Pope Pius X – "All the strength of Satan's reign is due to the easygoing weakness of Catholics."
    6. 1 Timothy 5:20 – "When they sin rebuke them in the presence of all, that the rest also may have fear."
    7. Proverbs 17:15 – "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God."

        Popes are personally responsible for what happens on a large scale in the world.  Their failure to enforce discipline among subordinate bishops of all ranks is what permits, and even encourages moral degradation among those with Christian background.
        The US Census Bureau in its 2005 American Community Survey indicated that marriage did not figure in nearly 55.8 million American family households, or 50.2 percent.  True Christian values are no longer being taught by priests or ministers.
        This increasing trend should be seen as reason to take action against Vatican officials from the pope downward.  The Vatican has been highly infiltrated by sodomites, pedophiles, Freemasons (and affiliates such as the Jewish B'nai B'rith, Illuminati, etc.), and even full fledged satanists.
        Until Catholics, particularly the citizens of Rome, recognize the evils taking place at their doorstep and take action against errant prelates (bishops of all ranks) the condition of the Church and of the world (pandemic civil governments out of control as they too are controlled by Freemasonry, etc.) will only get worse as already established by current widespread trends taking place.
        Sin is rampant and getting increasingly prevalent because popes do not discipline.  If for this reason and no other Benedict XVI should be removed from office by whatever means necessary.
        It has been estimated that approximately 3/4ths of American bishops are not morally Catholic.  I see no reason to believe that conditions are any different elsewhere in the Church.
        All peoples suffer because of Vatican problems rather they be Catholic or non-Catholic Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews or those of other religious belief or even non-belief.  Popes must be reviewed for moral position with God in relation to the actions they allow to take place with their immediate subordinates.  Moral popes improve the condition of the Church and of the world, while legal only popes allow degradation of moral values.

1Jn. 4:1 Beloved do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  (popes, cardinals and bishops should be most rigorously tested.  In recent decades a higher percentage than ever have proven to be false leaders and false witnesses to Jesus Christ.

        Popes from John XXIII to include Benedict XVI have failed the test.  None of these popes have excommunicated Cardinals or bishops who have openly promoted heresy.  These popes have failed to remove bishops from office who have protected pedophiles and sodomites.  Cardinal Bernard Law who gave Holy Communion to automatically excommunicated Senator Ted Kennedy is guilty of the automatically excommunicable offense of desecration of the Most Holy Eucharist.  To make the matter more egregious, when public opinion had turned strongly against Cardinal Law, he was transferred to the Vatican and promoted to a high office. 


James 4:17 So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, it is a sin.
1 Co. 6:9 Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes (KJV: nor effeminate) nor sodomites 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Ex 19:15  He warned them, "Be ready for the third day. Have no intercourse with any woman."
Lev 18:22  You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination.
Lev 18:23  You shall not have carnal relations with an animal, defiling yourself with it; nor shall a woman set herself in front of an animal to mate with it; such things are abhorrent.
Dt 22:5   "A woman shall not wear an article proper to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's dress; for anyone who does such things is an abomination to the LORD, your God.
Lev 21:13   "The priest shall marry a virgin.
Nu 16:10  He has allowed you and your kinsmen, the descendants of Levi, to approach him, and yet you now seek the priesthood too.
Jam. 4:4 Adulterers! Do you not know that to be a lover of the world means enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wants to be a lover of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

        Due to his undoubted affiliation with Masonic and Satanic type organizations it is not expected that legal only Benedict XVI will resign.  His predecessors were similarly affiliated.  Pope John XXIII was a 33rd degree Freemason before he was elected pope.  According to the existing Code of Canon Law (Can. 2335) John XXIII was already under automatic excommunication.  As a non-moral pope he has no moral authority in the Catholic Church.  No non-moral pope or bishop should be seen as having protection under the Code of Canon Law.

CROZIER (purportedly a shepherd's staff):  The emaciated Jesus hanging pathetically from a curved cross (see image above left) is called the "Twisted Cross". This sinister symbol was created by Satanists in the Sixth Century as a caricature of the Traditional Crucifix.  But, very soon, this Twisted, or Bent, Cross became one of the Satanist's symbols for the Mark of the Beast.  This Satanic symbol was revived during Vatican II, albeit in great secret.  It is understood that it was designed for John XXIII but first used by Paul VI who suddenly began using this Crucifix in public ceremonies, without any publicity or fanfare!!  "Yet not only Paul VI, but his successors, the two John-Pauls and Benedict XVI, carried that object and held it up to be revered by crowds, who had not the slightest idea that it stood for anti-Christ."

Shell represents goddess aphrodite         The shell (birth of Venus) seen in Benedict's stole emblem on the left and above left on the chasuble (outer vestment) is understood to represent the goddess Aphrodite ("Afros" is Greek for "foam of the sea") who emerged naked on half of her birth shell from the foam.  She is the Greek goddess of Love, Beauty, Fertility & Desire (Roman name: Venus).  The Vatican's presentation regarding the vestment's shell does not ring true.

        Artists depictions of the Goddess of Love and Beauty have varied immensely, although one of the most recognized interpretations is Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus, which interprets the goddess in such a way as to have her standing on a scalloped shell (upper right), floating upon the sea. This shell, which consequently wasn't associated with the goddess until the fourth century B.C., was a symbol of the female genitals by the Greeks who used the word Kteis, which means both seashell and female genitals (Baring & Cashford 356).

        The use of this symbol would indicate that former Cardinal Ratzinger is primarily heterosexually active.  However, many in secret societies are bisexual. 

        Benedict XVI is continuing in the pattern started by John XXIII who initiated Vatican Council II.  Benedict, like John Paul II, makes lofty statements but does no more than he has to keep uprisings from taking place.  When Benedict visits his native country (Germany) does he clearly and severely condemn the culture there that openly accepts child-pornography (Note: he did not) per the following:

    Child Porn Now Mainstream in Germany – By Peter J. Smith
    BERLIN, August 25, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Germany has accepted child-pornography in its mainstream culture, and even celebrates it as Deutsche-Welle, a German media source, reveals today in its culture and lifestyle section.
    In a column entitled “Germany’s Teen Sex Doctor”, Deutsche-Welle unabashedly reports, “Generations of confused German teenagers have turned to Dr. Sommer for honesty -- and explicit photos.”
    The column continues, “Sandra, 16, looks up coyly from the pages of Bravo, wearing a black choker and nothing else. Boyfriend Elias, 18, grins from the opposite page, also in his natural state.
    “‘Tell me, why do you love each other?’ reads the headline. And the young couple tells why -- and exactly how.”
    The news source goes on to report that “Each weekly issue of Bravo now features photos of two teenagers, generally between 16 and 20, in the nude, with interviews about their bodies and experiences.”
    A news caption reads, “Nude pictures are intended to reassure nervous teens.”
    “Bravo's Web site even features explicit petting and positions photo galleries that wouldn't last a day in other countries,” reveals Deutsch-Welle, quite aware that most civilized nations consider child-pornography a crime against children.

John XXIII (1958-1963) was a freemason before he was elected pope though it was only subsequent to his election that this information became available.  Therefore according to the existing Canon Law he had been automatically excommunicated.  While he legally held office, morally he did not.  Anything he presented that was in contradiction to Scripture and authentic doctrinal teachings was and is not binding.  This has other implications as well.

Paul VI (1963-1978) announced that "the smoke of Satan had entered the Church."  As with the statements made by Satan to Eve in the Garden of Eden, this was a cleaver deception, but not a lie.  I believe that Paul VI clearly stated that he was a practicing full fledged Satanist.  This is also associated with the remarks made by Father Malachi Martin is his book "Windswept House."  Further, he initiated the use of the bent cross which is seen as a satanic symbol that dates back many centuries.
        He re-opened the 2nd Vatican Council that had been initiated by John XIII that served to water down the faith and allow many diversions from the faith to take place including the Novus Ordo Mass, female altar servers, female readers, extraordinary (now in practice ordinary) ministers of the Eucharist, Communion in the hand, non-easily dissolving hosts, hosts made with chaff (Mt. 3:12), etc.  Some of these practices have aided Satanic desecration of the Holy Eucharist in the context of Black Masses.  Satanist worship Lucifer as their god.
        While I approve of some of the changes that were made in the Mass, overall the changes were disastrous to the practice of the faith.
        Pope Paul VI is also responsible for the extensive use of various means of birth control that are common today.  He opened the door to this in a Satanically clever fashion in his encyclical Humanae Vitae (1968).  Any person with common sense realizes that there is no moral difference between the practice of not having sex during a woman's fertile period and the use of condoms or any other form of birth control.  The prime commandment of God given in the Garden of Eden was, "Be fertile and multiply."  Freemasons and ilk seek population control.  Sacred Scripture prescribes that sexual intercourse may not be had during a woman's menstrual period and for seven days thereafter.  Only on the day of her purification, the eight day, may sexual intercourse be practiced – this is commonly during the woman's fertile period (this is God's prescription for birth regulation [see:  2 Sam. 11:4f ]). 

John Paul I (1978 ) while only in office a short time also used the bent cross.  It may be fortunate that he only lived for a short time.

John Paul II (1978-2005), probably Illuminati but clearly a satanist as illustrated by his practical acceptance of other religious beliefs being on a par with the Catholic faith, has endorsed all variables of religious belief in contradiction to the Catholic faith.  This would include his kissing goddess earth, kissing the Koran, and the placing of a prayer in the wailing wall in Jerusalem.  He has allowed prelates to openly opposed Catholic teachings.  He continually sought popularity even if it meant that some in large crowds would get injured or trampled to death.  He also used a pontifical chair that has on its back an upside down cross - a well established satanic symbol.

Pope Benedict XVI (2005 - ) is continuing in the pattern of seeking personal popularity after the fashion established by JPII.  He is the forth pope to use the bent crozier.  No more should be expected from him than from his recent predecessors.  What truths he does present will be used to cover up deceptions and further degradation of the Church.  It is seen as foolish to place any hope in him.
        Will benedict be any different than JPII?  Will he insist that bishops and their clergy openly and clearly oppose those that act against natural law?  Will he remove or otherwise openly discipline bishops and cardinals who by omission support evil practices?  John Paul II promoted the pedophile protector Bernard Cardinal Law to a high position in the Vatican.  This alone should have been enough for Roman men of faith to run him out of the country and yet Benedict has put JPII on the fast track to sainthood —

    John Paul on sainthood fast track
    Saturday, May 14, 2005 Posted: 11:18 AM EDT (1518 GMT)
    John Paul II died at the age of 84 on April 2.
    ROME, Italy -- Pope Benedict XVI has said he is putting his predecessor John Paul II on the fast track to possible sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church.
    The pope said Friday he had dispensed with rules that normally impose a five-year waiting period before beatification -- the last step before sainthood -- can even start.
    Benedict's decision means that John Paul, who died on April 2, could be beatified and thus declared a "blessed of the Church" within a few years if a miracle can be attributed to him.  (The fabrication of miracles by secret societies, who control many people in important positions, is relatively easy.)

     Congressman Ron Kind pro murdering baby during birth  process             Catholics should believe and the vast majority of Americans do believe that it is just plain barbaric to force the breech birth of a totally VIABLE child, puncture that fulling living child in the skull with scissors and then suck the brains out of that child when it is mere inches from being totally out of the birth canal.
        And yet, the man pictured to the right -- Congressman Ron Kind -- didn't just vote IN FAVOR of partial birth abortion -- he voted for it TWICE !

        Will Bishop Listecki declare that any Catholic who votes for Congressman Kind commits grave sin and will then be under automatic excommunication for being an accomplice in abortion, a crime that has the penalty of automatic excommunication.  Contact Bishop Listecki and share your thoughts with him.

    Most Rev. Jerome E. Listecki, Bishop of La Crosse – Diocese of La Crosse

            On November 7, 2000 he was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago by Pope John Paul II and was ordained a bishop on January 8, 2001.
    2 Tim. 4:2 – proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.  3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers 4 and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths

    "For I am afraid lest when Christ comes to judge He may say:  'You wicked servants! Gladly did you accept the praises of My people, while holding your tongues about things that meant death to them."'        PL46 874-80        St.Augustine-Bishop of Hippo

        All bishops, whether those defending our Faith or those "preaching to applause", should heed the above words, uttered in response to customary applause the Saint received when preaching. Instead, some dismiss or ignore faithful Catholics protesting the embracing of the gay and lesbian lifestyle or chastise them for "pointing a finger" when, in fact, they are "extending a hand." Other bishops, now revealed to be immersed in that lifestyle themselves, have rendered the ships they steer rudderless, and shipwrecks abound. Sodom and Gomorrah are being re-built world-wide and, to our shame and sorrow, many Catholics are among the architects !

    In closing, may all who procrastinate in standing up for our Faith ignore the praises of Man, remembering that each life "...is a mist that appears for a while, and then vanishes."  (James 4:15)

It is my belief that Pope Paul VI knew exactly what he was saying when he proclaimed that the "smoke of Satan has entered the sanctuary", despite how the deceptive statement was received by almost everyone.  Paul VI's successors are a continuation of Satanic control of the Vatican.

    Mt 7:15  "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves.
    Mt 7:21  "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
    Mt 24:11  Many false prophets will arise and deceive many;
    Mk 13:22  False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect.
    Lk 6:26  Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.
    1Co 1:10  I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and in the same purpose.
    2Co 11:13  For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, who masquerade as apostles of Christ.
    2Co 11:26  on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own race, dangers from Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, dangers among false brothers;
    Gal 1:10  Am I now currying favor with human beings or God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
    Gal 2:4  but because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, that they might enslave us--
    1Ti 6:5  and mutual friction among people with corrupted minds, who are deprived of the truth, supposing religion to be a means of gain.
    1Ti 4:1  Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions
    2Pe 1:20  Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation,
    2Pe 2:1  There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
    1Jn 2:18  Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour.
    1Jn 4:1  Beloved do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
    1Jn 4:5  They belong to the world; accordingly, their teaching belongs to the world, and the world listens to them.
    2Jn 1:7  Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh; such is the deceitful one and the antichrist.
    2Jn 1:9  Anyone who is so "progressive" as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son.

        Jesus promised that the Church would last until the end of time.  It is up to people of faith to restore the Church to its rightful place as the true source of truth and justice leading to eternal life.  Without priests of faith the salvific sacraments are not available for aiding in the gaining of entry into eternal life.  Without popes and bishops of faith there will be few priests of faith.  Too many young men, not expecting to encounter the many existing problems, have left seminaries due to the offensive practices of professors and the many despicable students in the process of becoming priests.

    San Francisco Archbishop Sparks Gay Adoption Flap

    In response to a Vatican directive, the Archbishop of San Francisco changed existing policy regarding homosexuals adopting children.

    Or did he?

    Earlier this year the prefect for the Catholic Church’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith instructed Catholic Charities of San Francisco to halt its practice of placing children for adoption in homosexual households.

    In early August, San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer said Catholic Charities would no longer be involved in the “direct placement” of adopted children. But it would now send three of its staff members to work for Family Builders by Adoption, a group that specializes, according to its Web site, in helping “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender families” adopt children.

    It was move that moral theologian William Smith called a “distinction without a difference,” according to the Catholic World Report (CWR).

    San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano, a gay activist, found the partnership with Family Builders ironic, the CWR noted, stating: “A Vatican-mandated review that was supposed to terminate Catholic Charities’ involvement in homosexual adoptions has ended up increasing it.”

    The San Francisco Chronicle called the partnership an “adroit end run” around the Vatican ban.

    “This is dubious bordering on the devious,” complained Monsignor William Smith, professor of moral theology at St. Joseph’s Seminary in New York. “It sounds like they are simply changing venues so that they can keep doing what they were told not to do.”

    In a 2003 statement from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican said the Church should resist any laws that give “same-sex unions” the “rights belonging to marriage” (such as the right to adoption).

    George Neumayr, editor of the CWR, wrote in the October issue: “Archbishop Niederauer said that the new policy is ‘compatible’ with Catholic moral teaching. How? He hasn’t yet offered a full explanation.”

    Neumayr also noted that as archbishop of Salt Lake City, Niederauer opposed a 2004 drive to place a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage on the Utah state ballot.
