Frankly, our Archbishop has had two years here. He's brought in a new VocDir at the Seminary, fired TWO editors of the Catholic Herald, cut staff at the Puzzle Palace (Chancery), and did an excellent job of handling the criminal assault pervert priests (published the names of those who had 'credible charges'/pulled them out of service/referred their case to Rome for laicization.) In addition, he forced a priest to retract an invitation to the local FutureChurch/CallToAction bunch to hold a wimmins ordination rally at a church.

OTOH, the Seminary is still full of teachers who have expressed questionable (or flat-out wrong) teachings; many Parishes still have PoofterWonk Mass "celebrations" pushed down their throats--and by this I do not mean that the priest/celebrant forgot to say the Creed on one given 0730 Sunday Mass--I mean that the priest "forgets" to say the Creed EVERY SUNDAY--or worse.

It's getting a bit frustrating.

Worst, in my mind, he's failed to follow the lead of Bps. Burke, Sherman, Bruskewitz (et al) in smacking the CINO politicians out of the Communion line.

It is too bad he wont entirely close down the seminary in your diocese. One thing that I have seen in my present diocese and the one I used to live in, is that the rich suburban parishes usually have the most liberal priests and the worst liturgical abuses, the older inner city parishes is where the more traditional priests are often stuck.
