Feeneyites restored to Catholic standing in Worcester
About 30 followers of Rev. Leonard Feeney, once censured for his view that salvation was limited to Catholics, were reconciled with the Church in Worcester Mass. Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan confirmed the action, noting Feeney himself was not among the reconciled.
