Fr. Altman

Fr. Altman has been in the news a lot recently. Many people are sympathetic to Fr. Altman’s zeal, but nevertheless raise some important questions, such as Steve Skojec. Anyway, since I’ll soon be moving to Wisconsin, I thought I’d compile the information about his case which I’ve come across…

1. This article from The Pillar contain the main details.

2. His claims about racism and lynching:

3. An image and commentary found in a March bulletin from Fr. Altman’s parish:

4. This interview where he makes a number of comments about men and women, as well as why women can’t preach (01:36):

5. This graphic which was posted on Patrick Coffin’s Facebook Page:

6. His comments about Church authority and infallibility are found in this article:

Many have jumped on the injection bandwagon, daring to call it our moral duty to take the experimental injection. Dear family, their statement, from the Bishop of Rome on down, is not infallible. No, as we learned in seminary, in the last two thousand years, depending on who’s doing the counting, infallible statements have been made maybe four to seven times – that’s it. Anything else? An Opinion.

Fr. Altman

7. He has been made many appearances where he has offered open criticism to a variety of targets.

The initial ones were produced by Alpha News:

He has also appeared on Church Militant a couple of times:

8. In response to his appearance on Taylor Marshall’s show where he called his bishop a “Nazi” and “Tyrant”, Michael O’Loughlin offered some commentary over the way we speak about our leaders:

As usual, Michael Lofton from Reason and Theology has excellent, balanced material on this sort of thing:

Friday Frivolity: The pubs keep open till eleven

BALLADE IN PRAISE OF ARUNDEL
(Made after a walk through Surrey and Sussex) 
By Theodore Maynard

I’ve trudged along the Pilgrims’ Way,
And from St. Martha’s Hill looked down
O’er Surrey woods and fields which lay
Green in the sunlight. On the crown Of
Hindhead and the Punchbowl’s brink
Of no good thing I’ve been bereaven :
But Arundel’s the place for drink
The pubs keep open till eleven.

White chalk cliffs and the stubborn clay
Are thrown about, and many a town
Breaks on the sight like breaking day;
But after all, who but a clown
Could Arundel with Midhurst link,
Where men go dry from two till seven?
In Arundel (no truth I’ll shrink)
The pubs keep open till eleven.

A great cool church where men can pray
Secure from misbelieving frown;
And in the square, I beg to say,
The beer is strong and rich and brown.
