Crisis Magazine: 3 Fired Sacred Heart Professors Had Created ‘Culture of Faithful Orthodoxy at the Seminary’...

DELUSION
"Recognize, My pastors, the signs of your times. You have fallen asleep. Delusion has been set upon you because of pride and arrogance. O Our sleeping pastors, you have fallen into error because of pride and arrogance." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976

FALLEN HIERARCHY
"I shall come soon to cleanse My temples, the churches. I shall cast out you who have given yourselves and set upon My Church a stigma of fallen hierarchy. Awaken from your slumber! Recognize the faces of evil about you, My pastors! Shall you please man, or shall you follow the rule of your God? No man shall save you from judgment. No man shall give you your reward. But satan has set on earth men who shall claim you for satan." - Jesus, November 20, 1975

VOCATIONS ARE NIL
"The vocations are nil, and why? Because the example is rotten! Tradition has been cast aside for modernism and humanism." - Jesus, December 31, 1977

Crisis Magazine has published two op-eds this week calling attention to the recent firings of three high-profile professors at Sacred Heart Seminary, who, in the words of one of the writers, “have each provided more than twenty years of exemplary service at the seminary.”

News broke last week that Archbishop Edward Weisenburger of Detroit had fired Eduardo Echeverria, professor of philosophy and systematic theology, and Ralph Martin, professor of theology and director of graduate programs in the new evangelization, as CatholicVote previously reported. On July 25, prominent canon lawyer Ed Peters, professor and Edmund Cardinal Szoka Chair of Faculty Development, revealed that he too had been relieved of duties.

In “Sadness and Loss at Sacred Heart Major Seminary,” which Crisis published July 30, Anne Hendershott, professor of sociology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, argues that the firings have done damage to the American Church and to morale on Catholic campuses. Hendershott is also the director of the university’s Veritas Center for Ethics in Public Life. 

“Those of us who are blessed to work on faithful Catholic college campuses were shocked and saddened to hear about the Detroit archbishop’s decision to abruptly fire three of the most prominent professors at Sacred Heart Major Seminary,” Hendershott wrote. 

She particularly lamented the archbishop’s failure to provide any justification for the firings. This “left a void that has unfortunately been filled with online speculation that has impugned their character and damaged their reputations,” according to Hendershott. She cited the coverage of the issue by Mike Lewis in Where Peter Is, which claimed that the professors were “outspoken critics of Pope Francis and openly challenged the orthodoxy of his magisterial teachings” as an example of this.

According to Hendershott, the professors “played a role in creating a culture of faithful orthodoxy at the seminary.” She argued that they were not critics of Pope Francis’ papacy; they “simply asked for more clarification of some of Pope Francis’ more ambiguous and confusing statements and documents.”

The three fired professors are exemplary Catholics who have worked tirelessly in service of the Church’s mission, Hendershott argued.

Catholic author and speaker Greg Schlueter penned a second Crisis op-ed also published July 30 focusing on the legacy of one of the fired professors, Ralph Martin. In his article, Schlueter argues that the Church has a dire need for clear moral teachers like Martin and that too many ecclesial authorities compromise on the truth in favor of “unity” or “prudence.”

“If Ralph Martin’s Gospel proclamation — thoroughly grounded in Scripture, magisterial teaching, and lived fruitfulness — can be dismissed with a bureaucratic shrug, we are not witnessing prudence,” Schlueter wrote. “We are witnessing fear — and worse: clericalism dressed as discernment.”

However, Schlueter cautions readers against looking at this issue purely in terms of worldly success. Martin’s teaching, he says, has helped many souls grow closer to Christ.

“The legacy of Ralph Martin will not be etched in faculty minutes or episcopal press releases,” Schlueter wrote. “It will live in the souls who heard him and found Christ. It will live in those who were not affirmed in confusion but restored in truth — those who were not made comfortable but made whole.”

"RETURN,  MY  CLERGY"
"I am your God, and I say unto you:  continue to change My Church and you will fall!  You will build a secular Church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals.  All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism.  Nay, no!  I say unto you as your God.  You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed.
     "All will be tested like metals in the fire, and all that is rotten shall fall.  Return, My clergy, to a life of prayer, holiness, and true purpose of your vocation."  - Jesus, May 23, 1979
