Defend Fr. Altman From The Vicious Wolves

Fr. James Altman has once again become a target of Leftist media and activist groups. On April 25, The LaCrosse Tribune once again attacked Fr. Altman – this time for too many parishioners attending Masses in his parish. This story was rapidly followed-up with a petition launched by a Leftist activist group calling for Fr. Altman’s removal. The petition is sponsored an Episcopalian pastor by the name of Nathan Emspsall, who was trained by Barack Obama’s Organizing America and M+R Strategic Services (this organization is a consultant for Planned Parenthood, GLAAD and Pro-Choice America), currently resides in New England and describes himself as a “Progressive Organizer.” A group of Fr. Altman’s supporters have launched a petition in response to Emspsall’s attack asking faithful Catholics to show their support for Fr. Altman.

TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition supporting Fr. Altman – then call Bishop Callahan at 608.788.7700 to voice your support for this faithful priest.

PETITION: Hands-Off Father James Altman

Your Excellency,

It has come to our attention that a “Christian” group wishes you to remove Fr. Altman from St. James the Less parish. This group is led by an Episcopalian Pastor, who was trained by Barack Obama’s Organizing America and M+R Strategic Services (this organization is a consultant for Planned Parenthood, GLAAD and Pro-Choice America), currently resides in New England and describes himself as a “Progressive Organizer.” From his biography, it appears his progressive “religious” ideologies are incompatible with the 5 Non-Negotiables of the Catholic Church. Thus, it seems this attempt at a smear campaign to remove a good and holy Catholic Priest who teaches the 2000 years of unchanged and unchangeable Truth of the Catholic Church is really a disguised effort to undermine Holy Mother Church’s authority and teachings.

We are incensed at their interference in diocesan affairs and their presumption that they have the right to tell our beloved Bishop what to do. This group and the media have made libelous statements that defame not only Fr. Altman’s character, but also that of the Diocese of La Crosse. The amount of people present at Mass has been sorely misrepresented. St. James has many large, young families, some of which have up to 9 children. The media has taken random snapshots of the community culture within the parish without any actual knowledge of the facts in an attempt to create a story where one does not exist.

It is shameful and sinful that they would bear false witness against Fr. Altman in this manner.

We entreat you to support Fr. Altman and to support us by telling them to mind their own business.

Asking Your Excellency’s blessing, we are, Yours Respectfully,
