I have been deprived of a traditional and patriotic Catholic wife twice already, and I'm trying this. I attend the Tridentine Mass, and wish to have my mate the same. I'm looking for an 18-22 yrs, Catholic, patriotic, nice, etc.
Today at Mass, my eyes kept watering so much that I had to remove my eyeglasses several times to clean them. Even though I have environmental allergies that I have dealt for the past 13 years, my eyes watered. I consider these tears of sadness because it is Pentecost Sunday, and I have not found my Catholic sweetheart yet.
My regular ride will not be able to drive me next Sunday, so I'm stuck. Please be a Catholic girl and meet a Catholic guy like me: ME!
Bishop McManus has plead guilty to refusing a breathalyzer test in Rhode Island yesterday, was fined $900, lost his driver's license for 6 months, and ordered to perform 10 hours of community service. If he complies, the other three charges (DUI, lane violation, and leaving the scene of an accident) will be dismissed.
I applaud the Bishop for changing his plea to "guilty" for the chemical test charge. If he took the test when told to be the police officer, he might have tested below the legal limit, and not have a DUI charge. But, he refused at the scene, and now cannot operate a motor vehicle of six months.
However, getting off with a fine and ten hours of community service is still kind of lenient considering that he was involved in a collision. But, ten hours of community service is not going to teach the Bishop a lesson, especially if he is going to be shoveling shit off the street that dogs made of nuisance.
While the court did not specify what kind of community service the Bishop will have to perform, they might as well have sentenced him to offer five Pontifical High Masses for the souls (living and deceased) of the Diocese of Worcester (approx. 2 hours per Mass), something he has not even done once as Bishop of Worcester.
Celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass as a punishment ought to be imposed on priests who violate the law, especially for most of the Worcester curia, for whom they actively promote the homosexual agenda in their liturgies. Such punishment would show that no bishop is above Canon Law and the Magisterium.
Guilty plea in all, this does not automatically absolve the Bishop of his sins. He still will have to make an account on Eternal Judgement Day. Sign the online petition to the Holy Father to remove Bishop McManus from the Diocese of Worcester. This drunk-driving incident is only a fraction of the problems Worcester faces ecclesiastically.
Rorate Caeli has a an article showing recent winning designs of three new parish churches in Italy. I am not posting a preview, but if you want to see these ugly, sacrilegious designs, please click here.
The following video by Michael Matt of The Remnant, reporting from the Catacomb, on the decision by the Trustees and Administration of Boston College to invite Enda Kenny, an Irish politician who has filed a bill in Irish Paraliament that would allow abortion on-demand, just like what we have here in the United States:
You notice the kids in Rome (of all places) laughing in the video when asked about abortion. So there you have it: Boston College isn't Catholic.
Also, Michael Voris reports infront of Lambeth Palace, the birthplace of contraception in the Anglican Church (which is falling apart):
The Diocese of Worcester has several problems, like it's bordering metropolitan Archdiocese of Boston, but on a lesser scale. While the Bishop has demonstrated the pro-life cause by leading the Rosary in front of Planned Parenthood and banning Mrs. Ted Kennedy from speaking at a college graduation, there are several ecclesiastical issues that have not been addressed.
The Traditional Latin Mass has not been regularly said within the City of Worcester since the 1960's, but there have been a few Masses offered by a visiting priest a the Jesuit-run College of the Holy Cross since Summorum Pontificum. The Diocese has used the fictitious "city ordinance" excuse in recent years.
Instead of selling or donating closed parishes (in good condition!) from the 2008 reconfiguration, he has sold most of them to anti-Catholic Pentecostal groups. (However, one parish was sold to the Maronite Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, NY, and is used for the Maronite Mass today.)
Secondly, last year, the Bishop's Master of Ceremonies, Msgr. Robert Johnson, was additionally assigned as the dean of St. Paul's Cathedral after Msgr. James Moroney left to become the Rector-President of St. John's Seminary in Brighton. Msgr. Johnson has been MC since 1996, serving Bishop Reilly first before McManus, and has lived in the Cathedral rectory for many years, so this was most likely a natural choice. But the pastor of the cathedral church is the Bishop, and the Bishop should be offering a Pontifical High Mass there every Sunday and Holy Day.
When the Bishop loses his driver's license, Msgr. Johnson will have to drive him around to confirmation visits, etc. So having a double assignment for him is just not appropriate, even in a small diocese. It is the Bishop who is the Pastor of the Cathedral, not Msgr. Johnson.
Thirdly, Msgr. Thomas Sullivan, the Chancellor, is currently duly-assigned as Pastor of Christ the King Parish, a wealthy parish on the West Side of the city. Sullivan has been the chancellor for several years and generally resided in the Cathedral rectory, said Daily Mass, and went to work at the Chancery. But now, since he has a parish, this is just too much for a priest. (But at least he is a priest; Boston's chancellors have been faithless overpaid laymen.)
The list goes on and on, and I could be here all day and writing several encyclopedia entries on the sins of most bishops since Vatican II, small or large. But all I'm asking is that you sign the petition.
