This is interesting, in a sad way. Former Fr. Jonathan Morris,
ex-commentator and now ex-Catholic priest is interviewed by Martha MacCallum.
He explains his recent decision to be laicized. He's
explanation is that he never intended to become a priest and after 25
years from Seminary to priesthood, he had to take action to actually
follow God's real plan for him as he now felt in his own heart and gut
Wow....
Well I definitely don't know his heart and I do applaud his
continued acknowledgement of his faith
in the Catholic Church, I can't say I understand. Many of the Saints,
including Mother Theresa had experiences that made them doubt their
vocations, even experiences of the dark soul. Even those who have been
married for quite some time have experienced at one point or another,
that maybe they may have married the wrong person or wanted out of their
relationship because of some hard-time, financial or otherwise, so I
don't know if Mr. Morris will have the fortitude to weather those
moments either.
I believe he is a priest, forever as it says in Hebrews 7:17
For it is declared: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
'll keep him in my prayers
Very recently, Pope Francis gave his blessing to the French Church revising their translation to change from, "and lead us not into temptation" to "don't let me fall into temptation.”
Jimmy Akin from Catholic Answers give his take the media hipe on this Here.
I first saw the Headlines on the Drudge Report but it was widely reported throughout the media, like

FoxNews and USA Today to name just a couple. Few outlets couldn't pass up the chance to weigh in. Maybe with a motive of, if the pope can change the Catholic Church on this topic why not others...I'm only speculating.
Few offered no substance or factual reasoning or how it truly affects everyday Catholics, if fact it only caused confusing.
Patrick Madrid on his daily morning show on Relevant Radio offered some keen insight.
