Oh man!
"Here I am Lord" was the communion hymn for me this past Sunday. Still knew every word by heart.
I was definitely bummed when I saw, then Fr. Schutte, in a Speedo on that well known dividing line by the Bradford Beach House.
Funny someone should mention Los Angeles:
Egads. Talk about flaming.
The bishop appears to have been missing in action during all this, as usual. I've never heard of Bishop Lori, but he's obviously one of those shepherds who only wakes up when he sights lawyers on his doorstep. No diocesan audit for five years, hmmm?
Speedos seem to be the required garb for these guys. The current Bp of St. Pete's, Bishop Lynch, is known as Bishop Speedo because of his fondness for making male staff members pose for him in Speedos while he took photos of them...and of course he did have to settle out of court for an undisclosed sum in a male parish employee's sexual harrassment suit ...
Personally, I wouldn't care what Dan Schutte did in his spare time if he were just a musician, liked by some and disliked by others, better than some and worse than others. However, the fact that he is known to have "married" his boyfriend makes it clear that he's not in agreement with the Church, so he shouldn't be serving in an official post in a Jesuit university. Especially a job that makes it seem as if the Jesuits regard him as a role model.
what a fairy nice songwriter, I thought only bennys and pineys split the beach.
