Fr. Justin, formerly of Catholic Answers, now Bishop Justin
ROME - The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) announced yesterday that Fr. Justin, just weeks after having been canceled by Catholic Answers, has been ordained a bishop and will serve as the new head of global youth outreach for the group.
“We are always seeking ways to remain relevant to the young people of today,” said Paul Warren, SSPX spokesman. “When we heard about this priest with an online apostolate who was giving based answers, we were intrigued. So, naturally, when we received the news of his cancellation, we contacted him immediately.”
Warren explained that the SSPX seeks to protect solid priests. “The Church of Vatican II continues to cancel prelates who preach the hard truths, like Father — I mean, Bishop — Justin, and we wanted to take a stand.”
“Was it a hasty decision? Yes, perhaps, but one I don’t think we’ll regret,” Warren added.
When asked about whether Bishop Justin would continue to offer confessions online, Warren seemed caught off guard. “Online confessions? What do you mean?”
