The Fisher-More College saga

Bishop Olson has forbidden the TLM at Fisher More College. I can't add anything to the Twitter and Blog feeding frenzy except to express my sympathy for the students and the parents. These folks are on a real roller coaster. Some people are saying that Fisher More messed up by allowing Fr. Gruner and John Vennari to speak on campus.  Other people are hinting darkly that things aren't right at the college and the president  anyway and that the Fr. Gruner and Vennari episodes were just the straw on top of the ton on the camel's back---but they don't come out and  say exactly what's wrong.   Other people have mentioned the school's well publicized financial trouble.

 What have the people running Fisher More done that is so terrible? Have they taught heresy? Have they provided aid and comfort to enemies of the Church? Have they looked the other way while priests broke their vows or violated the innocence of the young? Is something up with the chaplains?  If any of these are the case,  root out the bad, and if that can't be done shut it down. 

I hope the truth, whatever it is comes out soon but even if something is wrong  with the administration why take the TLM from the students especially since that's the only form of the Mass the school offers?






**Update.
Dr. Taylor Marshall, who used work for Fisher More posted this on his Facebook page.  HT to Gina Guarnere for letting me know that the posting was up. This whole thing is looking like a ghastly mess. Please pray for the students and their parents.

**Update II
Fisher More had a response to Dr. Taylor Marhall. You can read it here.
