A HOUSE DIVIDENDIN SOUTH PHOENIX, A PRIEST AND HIS PARISHIONERS LET IT FLY

Yeager quotes the Bible: Christ, before he celebrated the Eucharist, said, `Judas, go and do what you must do.' And then he shared a meal with him. I cannot share with that man [Sedillo]. I tried to make peace and he wouldn't do it. To me he's Judas Iscariot."

When it's suggested that Jesus also said to turn the other cheek, Yeager answers, ÔHow many people do that? I can't. Can you?"

LAST SUNDAY, instead of a homily, Yeager singled out Sedillo, Argel and de la Vega from the pulpit and called them all Judas." He cornered the three men before the next service to tell them they were yellow" for going to a yellow rag journalist." Then he returned to the pulpit and excoriated his detractors again, as a monsignor from the diocese waited to deliver the Spanish Mass.

I have a right to speak," Yeager said the next day. They went public. I have a right to go public, too."

I think it's ironic," he continued. The day the article comes out is the day Judas betrayed Christ. This is an attack on the church."
