Wow. I didn't know you lived in Palm Beach. That's probably almost as bad as living in St. Pete's - but then, didn't Lynch do a stint in Palm Beach, too? I don't know why these bishops are being left in place. Lynch should have been gone long before the Terri Schiavo case broke, simply because he is known as Bishop Speedo for his fondness for photographing hunks in Speedos and because of the sexual harrassment suit successfully filed by a male lay employee. His performance in the Schiavo case was so awful that he should have been canned immediately upon his return to the US. But he's still there.
Florida flies below the radar, but we have some truly awful bishops, and our seminary (Boynton Beach) has been a notorious Pink Palace for years. I believe the latter is changing, but until there's some major transformations down south (your area) and on the Gulf, things will remain bad here. I'm lucky to have a good bishop here in St. Augustine, and I think the Orlando bishop is pretty good too, from what I've heard.
As for Bishop Barbarito and his Duty to Teach, Rule, and Sanctify? I have no public knowledge on which to judge.
But, you are right. Florida ain't a spiritual paradise
That was the biggest red flag of all, for me.
What is your opinion/knowledge of the Diocese of Venice? I believe it is Bishop John Nevins?
