Recently, pamphlets were placed on the windshields of automobiles parked in our church parking lot. These pamphlets, entitled "The Fatima Crusader, " published by the National Committee for the National Pilgrim Virgin of Canada, under the direction of Fr. Nicholas Gruner, and distributed by the "Servants of Jesus and Mary" are NOT in accord with Catholic teaching. Fr. Gruner's priestly faculties have been suspended by his bishop.
