Well, his boss runs the Church like his personal dictatorship. Why shouldn't he think he can run his Diocese the same way?

Bishop Raúl Martín of Santa Rosa, Argentina, tries to force the parish Nuestra Señora de la Medalla Milagrosa not to receive Communion on the tongue while kneeling.
In this parish the [sacrilegious] Communion on the hand was never introduced.
AdelanteLaFe.com published a video of Martín speaking to the parish on August 5. Like a Tsar, Martín used a legalistic approach insisting on his episcopal "authority" that can decree liturgical "norms" which then must be "obeyed".
Showing no pastoral sensibility, Martín brutally refused to give Communion to teenagers who were kneeling in front of him.
He is a former Bergoglio auxiliary bishop in Buenos Aires whom Francis appointed Santa Rosa bishop in September 2013.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
