St. Peter’s Freed from Community Organizer Fr. Tuck
by Mary Ann Kreitzer
Fr. Tuck Grinnell, former pastor of St. Peter’s in Washington, VA reads Mass program at AUSCP meeting (Association of U.S. Catholic Priests). The group beats the drum for women’s ordination, priestless parishes, homosexuality, and other heterodox positions and hosts Judas priests like Fr. Richard Rohr as speakers. When he attended the AUSCP meeting in Albuquerque, NM, Michael Hichborn, head of the Lepanto Institute, described seeing many priests sporting the rainbow flag.
After four years under the rule of Fr. Tuck Grinnell, VOICE founder (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement), the parish of St. Peter’s in Washington, VA is free at last! Father quit the active priesthood early and will reside at the priest’s retirement home in Annandale where he will no doubt continue his community organizing work as well as healing ministry and spiritual direction of Cursillo. VOICE, an affiliate of Saul Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation, has as its primary goal the advancement of liberalism and picks the pockets of people in the pew to do it. At an early VOICE organizing meeting people who suggested fighting abortion were booed and shouted down. So much for caring for the least among us! As for the AUSCP, which was founded in 2011, it works for the destruction of Church doctrine. In a recent open letter to the U.S. bishops, the Lepanto Institute urged the bishops to ban membership of their priests in the group. Read the letter at www.lepantoinstitute.org. And please pray for Fr. Grinnell. Clergy who scandalize the flock face a very severe judgment according to the Fathers of the Church.
