He said the priest was to first consult with bishops to find out if what he was doing was in accordance with church doctrine.
“We have suspended him for a year to give him time to reconsider his ways. Every institution has its own code of conduct and there is nothing wrong in suspending the priest for going against our code of conduct,” Fr Kochiel told Catholic News, an online news site for news in the Catholic Church.
HE ADDED: “WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG, EVEN IF THE CROWD GOES FOR IT, IT’S STILL WRONG.”On Sunday parishioners at St. Monicah parish said they were disappointed with the decision.
They called on the church headquarters in the country to intervene and have the suspension reversed.
