I think this guy’s okay. My son and his family belong to a large parish in the diocese of Pittsburgh. I’ve attended mass many times there and found the mass and homilies to be very traditional. The music beautiful and a great choir. My grandkids attend school there and he forbade Common Core education. Wish more bishops would have done the same. Oh and whatever mass we attend is full.
I forgot to add 24hr adoration. They also have many different ways for parishioners to be involved in comunnity projects from prove life groups to stepping up and aiding unmarried mom’s who choose life. They are active in Knights of Columbus and many opportunities to mentor young people. It’s a great parish.
The Pittsburgh Catholic schools are crap. His “decree” forbidding Common Core was a joke largely ignored by almost all the catholic schools. Hence, the attendance is down. Meanwhile, in the North Hills there exists a private non-diocesan Catholic school that follows a classical curriculum and its booming.
If these bishops would get rid of the liberals in education and follow a classic curriculum model their schools would have waiting lists.
