Nashville Priest May Face Canonical Discipline for Heretical Video

Nashville priest may face canonical discipline over heretical video

A priest of the Nashville diocese may be facing canonical discipline after putting out a video on the front of his parish website this week denouncing the Pope and various Church teachings such as those against divorce, contraception, women's ordination, and the married priesthood, reports Patrick B.

The video, titled 'The State of our Church', is staged as an interview of the priest, Fr. Joseph Patrick Breen, by one of his parishioners at St. Edward's Catholic Church. It appears to be an attempt at reaching out to fallen-away Catholics. The video was picked up Thursday by the blog Creative Minority Report.

"That's the way we are, and that's where the people are," Fr. Breen explained when asked by LifeSiteNews why he released the video.
