St. Joseph Foundation - Remove Bishop Michael Olson

Philip Gray, a canon lawyer, informs us that we, the laity, have rights (and, indeed, obligations) under Canon Law to take action and that there ARE procedures that the Church has given us which we can follow to seek recourse for the untenable situation in our diocese.

• We are doing this IN FULL CONFORMITY AND OBEDIENCE TO SACRED SCRIPTURE and the very process created by POPE FRANCIS, using the process identified by our Lord and His Vicar of Christ.

• We feel it is our duty as laity to take this action in order to SAVE SOULS IN OUR DIOCESE.
