Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to document published writings, interviews and other documentation pertaining to Sr. Fran Ferder and Fr. John Heagle (and others).

A compilation is available at:
  • Our Lady's Warriors--Dissenting Authors and Speakers
    Sr. Ferder and Fr. Heagle are resource speakers of Call to Action

    • EXTRA SYNODAL LEGISLATION--Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, Diocese of Lincoln. Any Catholics in and of the Diocese of Lincoln who attain or retain membership in any of the above listed organizations or groups after April 15, 1996, are by that very fact (ipso facto latae sententiae) under interdict and are absolutely forbidden to receive Holy Communion. Contumacious persistence in such membership for one month following the interdict on part of any such Catholics will by that very fact (ipso facto latae sententiae) cause them to be excommunicated. Absolution from these ecclesial censures is "reserved to the Bishop."
  • Vatican supports excommunication of Call to Action group. ...Cardinal Re’s recent letter responds to their appeal, which was forwarded by the Bishop of Lincoln himself. The cardinal says that Bruskewitz’s “ruling in the case of ‘Call to Action Nebraska’” was “properly taken” within his competence as Pastor to the diocese. “The judgment of the Holy See is that the activities of ‘Call to Action’ in the course of these years are in contrast with the Catholic Faith due to views and positions held which are unacceptable from a doctrinal and disciplinary standpoint,” Re’s letter continued. “Thus, to be a member of this Association or to support it, is irreconcilable with a coherent living of the Catholic Faith,” he said, adding, “I am confident that Mr. McShane and all the members of ‘Call to Action’ will understand that their line of action is causing damage to the Church of Christ.”...

  • Archbishop Burke excommunicates fraudulent women "priests." I have communicated with Ms. Fresen, Ms. Hudson, and Ms. McGrath, and informed them that if they participated in an attempted female ordination, they would be excommunicating themselves from the Catholic Church. In the apostolic letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, Pope John Paul II reaffirmed that the Catholic Church has no authority to confer priestly ordination on women. This teaching is to be held definitively by all the faithful as belonging to the deposit of faith. Because they participated in the attempted ordination, Church law requires me to publicly declare the excommunication.
