A young Vietnamese priest has been excommunicated after accusations he taught false beliefs against the Catholic faith.
Fr Peter Nguyen Van Tuong was excommunicated “latae sententiae”, the apostolic administrator of Vinh Long diocese announced.
Administrator Fr Peter Duong Van Thanh accused Fr Tuong of “preaching false beliefs against the Catholic Church doctrine” and “being too stubborn to change his incorrect stance”.
But five days before the excommunication notice was posted to the diocese’s website, a letter signed by Fr Thanh stated Fr Tuong was being moved away for health reasons.
Fr Tuong has a strong devotion to Divine Mercy, based on the writings of St Faustina Kawolska.
The excommunicated priest used to celebrate Divine Mercy ceremonies on Saturdays that drew thousands of people, including followers of other faiths.
