Not much and Saint Louis
Not much is new today, just getting ready for the New Year. I have been doing some thinking though about that Polish Parish in Saint Louis which has gone renegade.
I keep reading about this Saint Louis Parish. I find it ironic that they are accusing the Archbishop there for wanting their parish for the money, but yet they won't give up their parish because of the money. They are allowing money to tear them away from Communion with the Church. If they were truly as faithful as they make it seem, they would place their faith in the Lord and bring themselves into communion with the Church by being faithful to her laws. Every other Church in the world is set up this way, why should they be exempt? Why should they receive promises no one else will be given? All because they are holding their Church hostage over money? The Polish People fought Communism in order to remain faithful to the Church, and these Americans are willing to let money tear them from the fold of the Church.
Maybe the Archbishop could have handled this differently, maybe, but the fault lays 100% on the Parishioners of this Parish. I applaud the Archbishop for his unwavering commitment to Church Law and Discipline. It is about time Bishops start to show Parishes that they are not independent businesses, but are subservient subjects of the Bishop. This case just blows my mind. It shows a complete lack of faith in God and the Church. (All this is my own observation and thoughts)
Well, that is my thoughts on that...
