Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. This is the case with Father Peter West, a priest in the Archdiocese of Newark, who is being pillared in the media for his conservative beliefs he shares on his social media accounts. In the age of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” one should not be surprised that the social progressives and leftists would so easily get their feelings hurt but this witch-hunt is a different situation altogether.
A reporter by the name of Mark Mueller for NJ.com decided to be the arbitrator of what political views a Priest can and cannot express to people on his Facebook and Twitter pages and penned a story that characterized Father West as an “internet flamethrower.” This is tantamount to the thought police controlling the nature of discourse in our society. How dare Father West think differently than the progressives in the Roman Catholic Church who have put on par the killing of unborn children with climate change and immigration policy? How dare Father West offend the liberal orthodoxy that Mr. Mueller and his fellow liberals in the media hold so dear?
What is even more troublesome is that it appears the Archdiocese of Newark is going to look into ways to clamp down on Father West to stop his freedom of speech. Diocesan spokesperson Jim Goodness said, “[W]e are concerned about Father West’s comments and actions, and will be addressing them according to the protocols of the Church.” This is disturbing because of the clear political tone his new boss Cardinal Tobin and others have taken against Trump and his supporters.

Oh, let me guess, Mueller is one of the tribe, isn't he? I'd be willing to bet the answer is yes. Since when did we let these people who hate our Lord and us tell us what we can and cannot say. Jewish people are really, really pushing it. There won't be an 'After the Reich' moment here. They are attempting to foment political violence just as they did against German civilians after WW2. IMHO.
Stay strong Father West, don't give into the leftist goons in Newark.
Yes, the most faithful of our clerics are under persecution by the Church in a number of places in the world.
Mark Mueller is an investigative reporter? Wowsers! I can't wait for his reports on the Clintons, Bushes, Chris Christie, the NJ Democrat Party and their servants, the NJ Republican Party. At least investigate the New Jersey Devil, Mark, and give us a full report.
Father West will be beaten up in a back alley and left for dead. If he does survive, he may be given a parish assignment as an assistant far from his See city.
When are the rest of faithful Catholics going to realize that with heretics the dual strategy has to be ceaseless battle for the truth and distance from them for sanity all along? Trying to coexist with the enemy is pure folly---as the Society of St. Pius X is about to find out if it yields foolishly to the treacherous hand extended by the Arch-Traitor Francis.
It's not like a Milton Bradley strategy game, it's keeping the precepts of the Church.
That's a horrible thing to say!!! You should pray that St. Michael and his Guardian Angel will protect this faithful priest. If you are Catholic, you should offer up your Holy Communion for him.
You should pray for Bishop Fellay and the SSPX so that God will give them the graces they need to remain faithful to Our Lord and the traditional teaching of the Church.
I'm surprised Newark isn't under 100% Sharia Law at this point.
Not being sarcastic,that city don't look like Western Europe.
Newark has more in common with Istanbul than say York,England.
(Soon as I type this I realize England is 15 seconds away from muslim-Jewish conquest)
Correct, it is not a Milton-Bradley board game: it is war, and in war history and common sense tell us you don't consort with the enemy, even when a false flag is waived at you. You fight them, keep them at bay, and hopefully defeat them.
Yes, lead the way, O Captain.
I was not being critical of him. Just stating what will happen to him.
