God bless Father Rodriguez and other priests who are not afraid to speak out. Today is the feast day of St John Mary Vianney, the Cure of Ars, patron of parish priests. Let us ask his intercession for his brother priests, that they will be fearless men of God.
God bless Father! I hope his Bishop doesn't "silence" him
