An Italian priest who called out Pope Francis as “mediocre” and a “heretic in need of conver-sion” in his All Saints Day sermon has been suspended by his bishop. Father Fabio Ragusa, assistant priest in the parish Borgio Verezzi, Savona, denounced the pontiff for “uttering truly senseless statements” endorsing homosexual civil unions and stressed that “it was imperative to obey the Catechism and the Church’s doctrine.”
