The Associated Press reports:
The founder of a far-right, unofficial Catholic media group has resigned for an unspecified violation of the organization’s morality clause, the group said in a statement Tuesday. Michael Voris stepped down as president of St. Michael’s Media and Church Militant, a Michigan-based enterprise established to address what Voris’ official biography calls “the serious erosion of the Catholic faith in the last 50 years.”
Voris declined to specify what happened in a repetitive, nearly 14-minute video statement on X. “There are things I have to go away and address and work on, horrible, ugly things,” he said. “Not going to share them, nobody else’s business but mine. The consequences of me not dealing with those obviously are some people’s business. I need to conquer these demons,” he said, adding that they are “like spiritual terror” to him.

Voris, of course, has made the personal lives of millions of LGBTQ Americans his business for many years.
Per the AP, in 2021 Voris was banned from holding a rally outside US Conference of Catholic Bishops because he had “exalted and promoted” the attack on the US Capitol. A federal appeals court ultimately overturned that decision by the city of Baltimore.
My yesterday report on his ouster and how I learned in 2010 that he has a past in the gay leather scence is here.
Supporters and critics of Voris have flooded Twitter in the last day to argue about his ouster, with detractors calling for him to face the same “politics of destruction” that they say he has launched against his perceived enemies.
Some appear to be crediting notorious anti-LGBTQ activist Jesse Lee Peterson with Voris’ ouster. You may recall that last year two of Peterson’s male associates went on the record to say they’d had sex with him.

Possession of stolen goods does not make them legitimately yours. They remain stolen, regardless of how much anyone PRETENDS they belong to the thief. A stolen election remains stolen. Truth is truth no matter how many deny it. 75-80million voters had their votes stolen. Period.

The leak of the SCOTUS draft is FAR MORE dangerous to the Republic than J6 response to a stolen election. The riot sought to restore order and truth. The leak serves to undermine both AND keep killing children in place. More Americans are murdered every minute, than died in DC.

The mask is a way to keep panic and fear and the forefront of people’s minds so they vote against Trump. Period. Masks were so important during THREE WEEKS of riots and violence across the country. Marxist bastard Dems.

Just as we were all silenced about election integrity, Ukraine, FBI, DOJ, J6, impeachments, and so forth. The lies and censoring are all so vast – it’s hard to know how even begin to prioritize them. https://t.co/ZdBqtlfHPM
