Diocese of La Crosse Bishop William Callahan is asking asked a controversial Catholic priest to resign.
Father James Altman announced the news during his Sunday sermon which was posted to YouTube later in the day.
Altman stated his lawyer is challenging Callahan’s request. Altman currently serves at St. James the Less parish in La Crosse.
He’s made public comments over the past year, including anti-Black and LGBTQ-plus rhetoric, stating that all Democrats are “Godless” hypocrites going to hell, and spreading misinformation on vaccines and COVID-19.
