Translation of Clark's outrageous essay:

"Business" as usual. "Homosexuals welcome here" (wink, wink).

No mention of the Church's position that the homosexual orientation is fundamentally disordered. No mention of the lop-sided stats showing the vast majority of priestly abuse cases were homosexual encounters. No mention of giving loyal submission to the Church's up-coming document.

Just this; "Their task is to form candidates toward intellectual, emotional, psychosexual, spiritual and pastoral maturity, regardless of the sexual orientation of the candidate."

In other words, homosexuality is not an issue.

I'll bet my next paycheck that this guy is a shirtlifter. A card-carrying member of the lavender mafia. Heck, this letter sounds like he prefers homos as priests. After all that's happened, he's still laying out the welcome mat for the gays. Defiant to the end.

In 2001, Bishop Clark reckovated several churches in his diocese. Here are pictures from the dedication of one such church, posted by a devout catholic and his trusty camera.

Director Mathew Clark admiring the "Vestal girls" as they prepare the altar of sacrifice. St. Ambrose, recently reconfiguered. Renovated to seduce and inspire joy in the "worship space" of Pastor Michael Schrammel.

Having spread the "gleeful news" up and down the aisles, the "vestal girls" gathered in the center aisle and "joyfully" twirled their way to the baptismal font. where they deposited their incense at the font, which was a "focal point" of this "rededication"

The altar table cloth was then danced down the aisle by two "vestal girls".

The rededicated "many a buck" baptismal font, where the babbling brook of chlorinated water flows. NBC reported cost of $800,000 to move tabernacle, remove relics, round pews, and build "daily Mass chapel" where baptistry was. Somebody said we could have spent that on scholarships for inner city kids to attend Catholic schools. She was told to "lighten up".
