Yes I know and that Priest isn't exactly 'well liked' as he is not exactly 'traditional' I'm told. Like what he has, or lets, the Deacons do during mass.
Our SIL really doesn't like the way he runs things or the church itself (like me he's used to the big 'Old Fashioned Churches' with stained glass windows. But that Parish is the only Catholic Church in Bolingbrook, IL. A pretty big suburb to have only one church.
What do we expect? The laity consistently passively accepts wrong instruction, behavior, rubrics, and even invalid consecrations (changing the words) from priests. We see these problems, and it’s not being “not traditional” - as long as we persist with this ultra-niceness we are going to lose our Church in this country. The problem is not Traditional vs. Progressive, it’s a problem of an egomanical heretic with total power cramming his personal preferences on innocent victims and making the Mass into his personal ideology.
Where are your letters and photos too (excellent dramatic photos), to your bishops? If the bishop doesn’t care, to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments. At least make a half-hearted fight to save our Church. The Church is is serious danger in this country. It’s not right to expect Pope Benedict to fight the battle alone.
I happen to be affiliated with a group of priests, very educated, all pre-Vatican II, ranging from the most orthodox to the wackiest anti-Catholic teachings. A few of them told me recently quite matter-of-factly, 40% of the priests in this country are gay and about 80% are heretics.
Follow like blind sheep at your own peril.
