Church Militant Founder Steps Down After ‘Breaching Morality Clause’
Michael Voris, the founder of the hardcore Roman Catholic website Church Militant, has resigned and left the organization after breaching the group’s morality clause, according to a press release shared by the group and reported by RNS.
Church Militant has made a name for itself as a collective of radically aggressive and unapologetically dogmatic polemicists that have been sharply critical of Pope Francis and any hint of liberal drift within the Roman Catholic Church.
Whether it be taking scalps from gay-affirming priests, putting on blast the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, wailing on the Vatican’s schizophrenic pro-life posture, or razing egalitarian nuns, the group, which produces articles, videos, and podcasts, has earned the ethos as a hard-punching protector of the faith- even if that faith in its purest form is salvation-by-grace-alone-denying heresy. They have 40 staff employees and have revenue in the millions.
While Church Militant declined to specify what the breach of morality was, Voris elaborated a bit in an X video, saying:
Sometimes it takes very horrible events, even at your own hand, in your life to surface certain things that need to be faced. There are some very, very ugly truths from my past that I, for essentially 62 years, have avoided facing because … I wanted them resolved, but I understand that touching that pain is going to be a very horrible thing. I need to conquer these demons.”
