I was down on some personal business in Southern Maryland, and came upon St. Mary's Church in Charlotte Hall. Someone told me that this was the poorist parish in the entire Archdiocese.
As most Catholics in this Archdiocese never get down this way, I thought that I would share some photos with you.
Here are some photos of the current church.
You remember this story from a few days ago, when I helped to get the word out about what they did to George Neumayr.
It seems that Msgr. Rossi and his Director of Security, Veronica Camp, lied to George Neumayr in regards to his being barred fro the Shrine.
And you know what, Archbishop Wilton Gregory won't do a damn thing about it. I have been saying this from the beginning. He is "in bed" with the lavender mafia and won't do a damn thing to stop them.
You can read all about it here.
My friend Melvin and I were talking about what you can read below this past weekend regarding McCarrick. Where is he? Who is paying for his room and board? Why have the bishops remained silent about this?
Melvin believes that McCarrick is back here in the Archdiocese, staying at one of the Catholic retirement communities.
McCarrick has never publicly admitted his guilt in the face of the
overwhelming evidence of his crimes. He has not asked forgiveness of his
victims, not made monetary reparations to them for the grave harm he
inflicted upon them. He remains in a Kansas Capuchin friary adjacent to a
parochial school as a non-paying guest; his expulsion from the
priesthood has not resulted in any change in his Church-provided living
arrangements.
This is remarkable. How many other forcibly laicized priests found
guilty of sexually molesting young men would be given this
consideration? Why has he not been shown the door and told to come clean
by the Holy See or the Bishop of Salina or the Capuchin superior?

In an interview with the Catholic Standard, Archbishop Wilton Gregory said the following:
Archbishop Gregory: “I was very, very fortunate. I was
appointed a bishop as a very young man, probably by today’s standards
too young. But one of the great graces that God gave me was my 10 years
with Cardinal Joseph Bernardin who was the archbishop, who obviously had
suggested to Pope John Paul II that appointing a young auxiliary would
be something that he would both want and he would use effectively for
the care of the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago, and (he) shaped
and formed me. He gave me a great example of equilibrium, of the ability
to identify with people. I have said this on more than one occasion, he
never lost the common touch.For the first year and a half, I was one of his emcees, and I just
marveled at how this man could enter into a parish and within five
minutes he was talking to everybody, and people felt close to him. I
marveled at his ability to reconcile sometimes very divergent opinions,
and to model a level of charity and joy that remained with me (as) a
great example.”
So, the question I pose to Bishop Gregory is:
- Did you know about Cardinal Bernadin's homosexual assaults and behavior?
- Did you know about the fact that an allegation was made against him in the early 1990s?
- If you did know, why did you not say anything?
In addition, there are questions about Msgr. Rossi that Archbishop Wilton needs to answer.
If you get to see the Archbishop, maybe you can ask him the questions?
This past weekend was the Ordination of Permanent Deacons. One of my friends (Melvin) attended the installation and believed that he saw Msgr. Rossi in the church, but definitely did not participate in the Mass.
Therefore, I decide to write to Msgr. Rossi at the Shrine the other day. Since there is no direct email for him (at least that I was able to find), I wrote to the generic one at the Shrine.
Of course, no answer.
Also, just to follow-up on his condo situation in Florida. The condo was purchased in 2012 for over $470,000. Taxes in 2014 were over $8,000 per year. And guess what the mailing address is for the condo taxes? You can read more about it here.
Archbishop Wilton won't do a damn thing about it. He is here just to play the kind and old grandfather type, make nice and see if he cannot increase donations.
Addendum:
You can read how George Neumayr has been barred from the Shrine.
