Well, if Latin gets them closer to the Lord they should have it. Still any Christian should know that you don’t just meet the “Spiritus Sancti” in a church. He follows you wherever you go.
This is why I will never give a penny to a restoration effort like this at a diocesan church. The parishioners and other generous donors who contributed the money for this expensive effort have every reason to feel like they've been ripped off when the archdiocese announces the closure of this parish even though it is in sound financial shape and operates with a surplus.

Cdl Dolan is horrible, a big, fat, grinning, shallow glad-hander who loves Dem politicians and hates faithful Catholics. Almost all of the parishes he is closing are either traditional in the sense of doing the traditional Mass, or traditional in the sense that New Yorkers have been parishioners there for generations and the family members are still going to their traditional parish.
Dolan wants suburban style mega-churches. He’s from Missouri and ended up as Archbishop of the most liberal diocese in the Northern Midwest (Milwaukee), and he doesn’t understand traditional culture in any way. In either sense of the word.
It’s true suffering for New Yorkers.
That Father Wylie is gone and the likes of Cuomo and Pelousi are allowed to take Holy Communion tells you everything you need to know.
Wow. Just wow.
