Exciting Announcement about CFN 2019 Conference: Identity of ‘Father X’ Revealed

The 2019 Catholic Family News Conference is only a little over a month away. All of us at CFN look forward to welcoming friends and supporters to this important weekend in Chicago. As previously announced in our schedule, a mystery priest — ‘Father X’ — will speak to the conference about how he found and transitioned to the exclusive use of the Traditional Latin Mass. We are happy and honored to announce today that the identity of ‘Father X’ is:

Father Michael E. Rodriguez

We will leave it to Father Rodriguez to tell his amazing and inspiring story at the conference. For now, let us just say that in the best traditions of St. John Fisher, the non-juring priests in France, the faithful priests in the Western Uprising against the Cranmer Communion Service, and the priests of the Cristeros, Father Rodriguez has made a stand for the Traditional doctrine and liturgy of the Church and suffers the expected consequences. This will be a conference you will not want to miss.
