Archbishop Wuerl laid out his plans for school and parish closings. The Pastors were sworn to silence and even encouraged to keep the truth at bay. Our Pastors are under extreme pressure from our Archbishop and Thom Duffy. Our Pastors need our support, they are in a terrible position. If you notice Wuerl is not naming "Pastors" to Churches, but instead "Parachiol Vicars".Parocial Vicars have very few rights by Canon Law, they can be transfered at a moments notice for any reason. "Pastors" are protected by Canon Law. Their transfers are more difficult to pull off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-87844833440651168142008-08-04T10:49:00.000-04:002008-08-04T10:49:00.000-04:00There are many in the Archdiocese who have a probl...There are many in the Archdiocese who have a problem w/ more conservative pastors. I for one, as you can imagine, do not. However, sometimes it is a matter of style - how one communicates various issues, how one reacts to new ideas, etc. There are a variety of styles, and sometimes it is just a matter of style.<BR/><BR/>I have never met the man, don't know anything about him, how long he has been there, etc. I am just reporting one person's opinion.A WASHINGTONDC CATHOLIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821102789185139045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-80228121865501712412008-08-04T06:23:00.000-04:002008-08-04T06:23:00.000-04:00Interesting, though I am new at St. Bernadette's t...Interesting, though I am new at St. Bernadette's the pastor seems nice enough and he is a good homilist. Must be that he is conservative, which is apparent and a good thing considering I spent some time at St. John the Baptist.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675918069376931859noreply@blogger.com
