I am somewhat surprised to hear that a bishop actually exercised his authority and demanded an apology from a priest who had determined that he and not the pope, bishops, or magisterium should determine what is appropriate.
Fr. Larry McNally, pastor of Ascension Parish in Oak Park apparently was held to account for his pandering to secular news agencies and a segment of his parish in issuing a call for the ordination of women in the Catholic Church in spite of two-thousand years of practice and consistent teachings on the subject throughout the years. Bishop John Manz apparently demanded a public apology which has been made. I may doubt the sincerity of the apology, but I am thankful to Bishop Manz for asking for it. (story here)
