John-Henry Westen interviews Msgr. Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue about Archbishop James Golka's decision to ask renowned exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger to suspend public speaking engagements and interviews for one year. The Archdiocese of Denver describes the arrangement as voluntary. Msgr. Coronado questions that characterization, drawing on his own experience working under Golka in the Diocese of Colorado Springs. He alleges that Golka pressured him to leave his diocesan positions and subsequently portrayed the departure publicly as a mutually agreeable decision. Coronado argues that similar language may conceal the exercise of episcopal authority against priests who challenge their superiors.
Msgr. Coronado's allegations concern his treatment by Church authorities, including disputes over canonical procedures, disciplinary actions, and his subsequent dismissal from the clerical state, which he contests. He criticizes the handling of clerical misconduct allegations and raises questions about Pope Leo XIV's previous handling of abuse cases in Peru. Throughout the conversation, Coronado warns against unquestioning obedience to bishops and argues that Catholics must remain faithful to Christ and Church teaching even when ecclesiastical authorities act improperly. His allegations against Golka and other Church officials are presented as his testimony and have not been independently established.
A bishop silenced an exorcist. Another priest says the bishop lied about how he treated him. The allegations are serious. The pattern is troubling. And the question is whether anyone will investigate, or whether the bishops will continue to protect themselves while silencing the faithful.
