Dear Fr. Clifford:
It has come to my attention that Bishop Gumbleton will be conducting a one day retreat on March 3rd at your parish.
I am calling upon you to disinvite him (and Pax Christi) from holding a retreat at a Catholic facility.
Bishop Gumbleton is well known for his opposition to church teachings in the area of homosexuality and the ordination of women.
Our Church is under attack from all sides, and we do not need to "invite the fox into the henhouse."
In addition, was this cleared with the Archdiocese of Washington? It is my understanding that Bishop Gumbleton has not informed the Archdiocese of his intent to visit. Maybe he and Pax Christi were hoping to pull a fast one, like he attempted to do to Bishop Morlino.
It is time to stand up for the faith and tell those who wish to destroy true marriage and the Sacrament of Holy Orders that they are not welcome in the Catholic Church.

PS: I stopped in your Church a couple of months ago and just happened to walk in during the announcements. It is always interesting to hear a parishoner asking for food and supplies for the Occupy DC slackers from the altar.

What a difference a Leftist President Makes!
With the war in Irag and Afghanistan, the photos of the Army "Kill Team" with the bodies of civilians and the military action in Libya, I was thinking (and that can be dangerous): Where is the Catholic Left?
Remember, just a few years ago, the Social Justice/Catholic Left crowd were writing letters to the editors, calling for the impeachment of President Bush, taking out full page ads, staging protests in front of the White House (remember Fr. Nangle), getting arrested, and keeping it in everybody's face.
So, my question to all of you are: Where the hell are you today?
All I hear is the sound of crickets.
Have you checked out the Pax Christi website? Nothing on Libya or Iraq. How about the Franciscan Peace Network? Not much on the war. Catholics United? Nope, nothing. NETWORK? A little on Afghanistan.
It seems that they are too busy worrying about illegal aliens, OBAMACARE and union thugs in Wisconsin. (Don't seem to see them condeming the death threats against the Republican state senators or the Governor, do we????)
