Rather than mocking him, you should pray for him.
He is in the process of being crucified by the Lavender Mafia.
He needs our prayers and our support for what he is going through...and, if my suspicions are correct, what he is going to be going through.
(Some of you who aren't n00bs around here may remember what happened to Father Clark from Arlington a few years ago...)
Ping to #17. Do you remember Father Ming’s friend Father Clark?
Please say some prayers for a former associate pastor of St Mary of the Mills. He’s going to need them.
In what way or manner did I mock Msgr. Pope, Mark? I've been to his Masses at Old St. Mary's. He is a good, holy priest.
I'm merely pointing out the pressure Donna Wuerl puts on her priests. Ms. Dolan and she are two peas in a pod. Ms. Wuerl booted Fr. Marcel Guarnizo and Ms. Dolan booted Fr. Justin Wylie.
And both of the above (members of your "Lavendar Mafia") voted in the latest papal election. Besides praying for Msgr. Pope, why not also pray for the Lavender Cardinals to return to being Red Cardinals, the color of martyrs' blood?
**He needs our prayers and our support for what he is going through...and, if my suspicions are correct, what he is going to be going through.**
I agree completely.
Not only praying, getting Masses said.
In agreement. Also note, there’s a pattern of certain parishes being closed (one for sure couldn’t be money, I know the donors), and great priests are being moved. Only God knows and his will be done.
I also missed the Bishop Sheen cause story... I just saw that today. Got a call in to Fr. A on that (Apostoli, I get my holy cards and wartime prayer books for troops from him). I never understood why Peoria would put the cause forward vs. Arch NY from the beginning re: cost and his service was mostly here/he died here. If you posted on it, please mail me a link.
