Was your bishop referring to ours, Howard Hubbard? If you are a "modernist" and draw spiritual inspiration from the contemporary view that girls should serve at the altar, support the notion of female ordination, enjoy sitting through the consecration of the eucharist, prefer liturgical banners to statues, find solace in a bare cross and support the notion of a homosexual priesthood, then you would feel right at home in the Albany diocese.
If your views tend more to the traditional ones of eucharistic adoration, kneeling during the consecration, reflection on the crucified Christ, etc. then you would be hard pressed to find a parish community that "fits".
Bishop Hubbard is well loved by many who have no one with whom to compare him. He lives a simple life - none of those perks like personal drivers or fancy suits. He is being investigated by www.rcf.org and was confronted by victims in Dallas who are well aware of his policies that do not support zero tolerance.
If you are a "modernist"
NO!
and draw spiritual inspiration from the contemporary view that girls should serve at the altar,
No, but there are no Catholic Churches within 100 miles where girls aren't serving.
support the notion of female ordination,
Absolutely not
enjoy sitting through the consecration of the eucharist,
Thank God, we kneel.
prefer liturgical banners to statues, No
find solace in a bare cross
Heaven's NO!
and support the notion of a homosexual priesthood,
More than absolutely not.
then you would feel right at home in the Albany diocese.
I'm glad I live in New Mexico:-}
I think our bishop runs pretty much in the middle, but I could be wrong, I don't know him well.
