This is a man who has had, and continues to have, the courage to speak what he believes is important for the salvation of his parishioners, despite the waves it may cause.  He has not only made waves, he's caused a tsunami of reaction that is reverberating through the Catholic Church.......

"You can't be a Catholic and a Democrat." ...........Father Altman wasted no words in his criticism of the Democratic platform concerning abortion: "There will be 60 million aborted babies standing at the gates of Heaven barring your entrance."...........Father Altman is castigated as a "right-wing priest" – and he has given his critics more ammunition with his criticisms of the COVID vaccines, the shutting down of churches and denying the sacraments during the pandemic, plus his other opinions concerning the DACA program giving citizenship to illegal aliens............

Not surprisingly, his words have gotten him into trouble with his bishop, William P. Callahan, who first threatened canonical penalties and now has responded by dismissing him from his parish and asked for his official resignation for being "divisive and ineffective."

Unsurprisingly, Father Altman is refusing and will fight the accusations.............To Read More.....
