A leaked faculty letter has accused the Archbishop of Detroit of violating seminary rules, breaching contracts, and even breaking civil law after the abrupt dismissal of three senior conservative professors.
The letter, obtained by Stella Maris Media, dated 26 August and circulated anonymously among clergy and lay supporters, was sent by a faculty member of the Archdiocesan seminary, Sacred Heart Major Seminary (SHMS), to Archbishop Edward Weisenburger and the Board of Trustees. It condemned the sudden sackings of Dr Ralph Martin, Dr Ed Peters and Dr Eduardo Echeverria, each of whom had taught at the Detroit seminary for decades.
