From Southern Orders
By Fr Allan J. McDonald
Steve Doocey of Fox News, a Catholic, was on Fox this Wednesday morning, although in Florida on vacation. His daughter's wedding had been delayed by COVID-19 and after that the priest who was to preside died. Because of COVID-19, the wedding was a small affair with only immediate family members, although Fox and Friends crew were invited to the bigger event canceled.
The tease leading up to the story was that since the priest had died an ordained family member would preside at the wedding.
It was, get this, Steve's son Peter (who also works at Fox News) who got himself ordained on line to preside at a friends wedding a couple of years ago. He checked to see if he could still do the legal wedding in Florida and sure enough he could.
Thus, Steve's Catholic son was ordained on-line and presided at his sister's destination wedding in Florida.
Everyone on the show including dear old dad, gushed at how remarkable this was and such a wonderful family affair.
Catholics doing this, bragging about it on national TV and no remorse for simulating a Sacrament of the Church which in days gone by could have gotten you excommunicated.
I guess the Doocey Family thought they would give scandal to the secular world if they didn't gush over it on national TV this morning.
