From The Diocese of La Crosse (via Rocco Palmo):
Father Altman responded:
This has been a long time coming.
From last September: Bishop issues statement on ‘fraternal correction’ of Father James Altman
From May: Bishop asks Father Altman to resign; priest vows fight
And then this: Diocese of La Crosse statement on Father Altman
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: A priest posted this on Twitter tonight, and it bears repeating:
“Just a reminder: it is a tragedy for the entire Body of Christ when a priest puts himself into such a grave situation that his faculties are removed. This is not a time for gloating, finger pointing, or detraction. The Christian response is to love our brother and pray for him.”
