Before I explain Father Vaughn Treco's situation, please listen to this sermon that he preached on November 25, 2018 - the Solemnity of Christ the King.
This sermon was an honest and factual assessment of some root causes of the mess in which the Church finds herself. I for one detected no hint of heresy nor dissent. Sometimes the truth is hard but it must be proclaimed for the good of souls.
Father is the former parochial vicar of the Church of St Bede the Venerable in St Louis Park, MN. On account of the sermon that you just heard, he has been relieved of his position, his faculties have been suspended and he is even threatened with excommunication by Bishop Steven Lopez.
Please go to the Complicit Clergy site to see how you can support Father. One thing immediately needs to be done: call Bishop Lopez at 713-609-9292. He must right the wrong that he did to Father Treco and reinstate him immediately.

Another Faithful Priest Heaved Under The Bus
On April 5th, I reported on the maltreatment meted out to Father Gerhard Swierzek of the Archdiocese of Vienna (Austria). In a manner similar to the way Father Guarnizo was maltreated by the Archdiocese of Washington, Father Swierzek was run over by his bishop when he tried to prevent an openly gay man from sitting on his parish's council. I closed that post by asking for Rome's intervention, saying that "there would be more".
Not one month later, that prediction rang true. This latest incident is also from Austria. Father Stefan Muller refused Holy Communion to a woman, Karina Rudolf, who is living with a man outside the bonds of Holy Matrimony. As you read this account, you'll see this woman is acting in a way that's very, very similar to how Barbara Johnson reacted when she was refused Communion by Father Guarnizo. In fact, I'd say the similarities are just too close to be coincidental.
As that other blogger wrote, "wherever old liberal bishops abound, it's open season on faithful priests". Unless Rome acts, we'll see more such accounts.
