Confessions of Canceled Priests | The Free Press

CHICAGO Is Father James Altman a heretic, or one of the last men of faith? 

The Wisconsin-based priest hasn t been allowed to practice mass since 2021, after he appeared in a YouTube video preaching that You cannot be Catholic and a Democrat. He also called climate change a hoax, and during the Covid lockdowns, in defiance of the Church and government ordinances, he held mass in person. 

But the crowd at the second annual conference for the Coalition for Canceled Priests is going wild for Altman, who takes the stage in the afternoon on the second day of festivities. He is who they re here to see. Altman spends his forty minutes at the lectern skewering the church s hierarchy from top to bottom. Throughout, he refuses to call the pope Francis.

No one in 2,000 years has been as fake and a fraud of a Catholic as the imposter prancing around in white in our day, Jorge Bergoglio, Altman informs the rapt room. 

Altman goes on to describe Pope Francis as an anti-Pope and an earthly viper in his talk. We ve had enough, Jorge, he says. If he doesn t repent for his fraudulent and damned papacy, he will burn in the lowest level of hell.

“[P]ractice Mass”? I think she means “say Mass,” but it’s a nice try.
