Thank you to St. Cyprian Council (KofC #10008)

Congratulations to the St. Cyprian Council, part of St. Cyprian Catholic Church (DC), which raised $3,000 for the Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center.  They did it via the annual baby bottle campaign.

Nice job!

Catholic Standard Update for Nov. 28th

Well, let's start off with the obvious: There is no mention of the Msgr. Rossi investigation at the National Shrine.  He continues just as he has done for years and +Gregory is just enabling it.  Even the advertisement regarding Mass times has Rossi's name still on it.  The Archdiocese has no shame. 

Let's take a look at some of the other stories in the Catholic Standard:

• 125th Anniversary of St. Cyprian
• There is a page and a half article on the Francis Factor with +Gregory, as part of a panel discussion.  One of the panelists is John Carr.  You may remember his, as being part of the USCCB, where he was responsible for shaping the political message.  He was a leftist, and still is.  From the USCCB he went to Harvard and is now at left leaning Georgetown.  You can read the nonsense from +Gregory and Carr there.  However, you probably should save your time.
• A short article about the Pope's visit to Japan and nukes.
• An article on retired sisters.
• A Capuchine priest sentenced to 15 years for child sex abuse in August.  He served at the Shrine from 2014 to 2018.  Wonders if Msgr. Rossi knew anything about this?
• Full page article on St. Cyprian and diversity
• Article on St. Martin's in Gaithersburg and diversity
• Article on one of the Sisters of Mercy. 
• Interfaith Council of Washington.  Again, taking the que from +Francis, we seem to have more and  more about the feel good interfaith meetings, etc.  
• Victory Housing marks 40 years.  
• Leo Nester's death.  

Msgr. Pope's Blog Posting Taken Down!

I am really not keeping up with things these days and missed this entirely...

But let me that I agree with Msgr. Pope (which will probably not makes things better for him).  Cardinal Dolan is wrong and Cardinal Wuerl should be ashamed of himself.  The gay crowd is celebrating this one.

From Brietbart News:

Monsignor Charles Pope put up a fiery response to Cardinal Timothy Dolan's decision to allow organized LGBTs to march in the Catholic St. Patrick's Day Parade next year. Just as quickly, the angry column was yanked by his superiors from the official website of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC. 

Pope, a popular and well-connected priest, called for the end not just of the St. Patrick's Day Parade but the annual Al Smith Dinner, which is also the scene of anti-Catholic politicians being feted by the archbishop of New York and other New York Catholic swells.

His blog was posted on Sept. 3rd and has been taken down.  As Msgr. Pope, a classmate of Bishop Knestout, has taken a vow of obedience to his bishop, he has posted the following:  http://blog.adw.org/2014/09/what-happened-to-the-st-patricks-parade-post/

It really is shameful that we continue to see this over and over with Cardinal Wuerl.  Only another two years to go.  Thank God!

Msgr. Pope's Blog

Periodically, I like to highlight blogs I find interesting and useful. One of them is that of Msgr. Pope, Pastor of Holy Comforter - St. Cyprian Church, in the Archdiocese of Washington DC.

According to some of his parishoners, whom I have worked with in the past, he is well liked and respected by them.
