I was hoping that when the liturgical abuser left we would get an orthodox priest, but when Father Tinker Bell showed up, that was the last straw.
ROFL! Ditto! Don't know about your diocese, but here at least, the general pattern is that the 'tinkerbells' are awarded the big parishes. The more orthodox priests, who speak up, are shipped off to the most remote parishes with the lowest attendance.
Two events sent me over the edge.
The first was the untimely "suicide" of an orthodox (whistle blowing) priest, who returned from a retreat to find a message on his answering maching inviting him to come down to the Chancery, ASAP. There, he was handed a document by the bishop's right hand man, denying he was the 'author' of a memo addressed to the Cardinal, identifying the multitude of abuses in this diocese. After signing the document, he was told to return on Monday for a personal meeting with the bishop. He was found dead on his kitchen floor, lieing on a blanket, face down, 24 hours later.
The 2nd event that shook me to the core was watching a Eucharistic Minister in my parish, drop a consecrated host on the ground, turn towards the 'tinkerbell' pastor for guidance, receive none, bend over, pick it up and toss it back into her Pyrex glass communion bowl.
After witnessing this display of total disrespect, I buried my head in my hands and asked our Lord to guide me to a holy man, a valid liturgy and a welcoming community. The response was swift. That is when I arrived at the Maronite Catholic parish, lost my heart and soul to the beautiful liturgy and total reverence for the Eucharist. I have never looked back. Our community includes a formerly RC couple who switched to the Melkite Catholic Rite while living in PA. There are no Melkite Catholic Churches in Albany NY, so they attend the Maronite Catholic Church.
Even without switching rites (though I am toying with the idea), you may find this article interesting.
