Canadian bishop requests laicization

“I’m in love … with a woman,” [Bishop Raymond] Dumais, told a regional Radio-Canada radio station last week. The Montreal Gazette quotes Dumais as saying, “I don’t feel I’m living in sin. I feel I’m living something special.”
Well, I guess there is something special about him. There are certainly plenty of priests who dissent from Humanae Vitae and Veritatis Splendor, but you don’t expect Rome to knowingly approve their consecration as bishops. One has to wonder at how these decisions are made. Anyway, after his nervous breakdown in 2000, he retired and moved in with some dame.
Marriage has been discussed but the couple isn’t “at that stage yet,” said Dumais, who is working as a biblical consultant and is to commence a teaching position in January in Rimouski.
Here are Lifesite’s summary and The Montreal Gazette’s story.
(This case has been assigned a 7 on the Catholic Light Rating System, for “nuttier than a cheese log.”)

  1. Jesus is a compassionate God.He cured all kinds of ailments…TO FALL IN LOVE AND GET MARRIED IN ALL POINT OF VIW IS NOT A SIN IT SO HAPPENNED THAT HE IS A CONSECRATED PERSON “A PERSON WHO VOWED TO LIVE A SINGLE AND DEDECATED LIFE TO CHRIST” THIS IS A PERSONAL CHOICE OF LIFE.but what can we do now..? MY OPINION ..THE CHURCH AS THE BODY OF CHRIST ON EARTH MUST EXERCISE MERCY AND COMPPASSION..grant the Bishop laicization to make his life happy
