"Will Never Cede Control"... Fr Yousef Marie F.ss.R.
, 202
Setting the record straight. Accusations that Fr Michael Mary "will never cede control" and enjoyed having control over other people contradicts the facts of election.
Fr Michael Mary and all those who govern, resigned at the First and Second General Chapter as required by Canon Law and the Constitutions of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer. The election was open to all the perpetually professed members.
Fr Michael Mary was first appointed Superior by the Bishop of Aberdeen in 2012, until the First General Chapter.
The First General Chapter was held in 2015 in the presence of the Rt. Rev. Dom Hugh Gilbert OSB, Bishop of Aberdeen. The perpetually professed members voted. Father Michael Mary was elected in the first ballot and duly installed by the Bishop of Aberdeen.
The Second General Chapter was held in September 2021, in Montana, USA. According to Church Law the election was held in the presence of the Episcopal Delegate and two Tellers.
Father Michael Mary was elected Rector Major in the first ballot, and was solemnly attested by the Episcopal Delegate and the two Tellers.
The result of the election was conveyed officially to Rt. Rev. Dom Hugh Gilbert OSB., Bishop of Aberdeen, who promulgated this news to the Diocese of Aberdeen on 29 September, 2021.
Therefore the accusation that Fr Michael Mary "will never cede control" is a baseless lie spread by the Press and by those making such comments.
