Armed guards?

There must be more to this story.

[I still care]

I'm with you. There is a lot more here that we are not hearing.

Well, according to the story: The church closing was revealed when the Rev. George Malitz, the pastor at Holy Trinity and St. John the Baptist in Trumbull, said at the end of the weekly liturgy that he had two announcements.

It seems malitz is two-timing and so the ecclesiastical gangsters probably figured they'd close one of the two parishes and to hell with what the congregants thought.

The People from Holy Trinity _could_ go about a mile away to St.Emery's - again, historically Hungarian and almost in the same neighborhood (formerly aka 'Hunktown' and the neighborhood of my forebears) but they'd be in even worse shape since St.E's is _totally_ RC: fully in league with Big-Business Rome.

St.J-the-B's Byzantine is more than 10 miles away on the highway and is newer and in a suburban residential area - and unfortunately run by the same gun-toters they met in Fairfield.
