As for the loss of donations from wealthy pro-abortion donors, Jesus said one cannot serve two masters, God or mammom.
If losing money or lukewarm parishioners is the worst consequence this fine priest faces then he is way ahead.
Church attendance is way down and contributions are off because the Church strayed from its principles. Amazing how the fate preceded and paralleled the fate of the GOP, I'll bet there is a moral in there somewhere.
One more thing... this is only this priest’s opinion. Nothing more. It’s no different than a few weeks ago when our new priest told everyone that “our Catholic faith teaches us that” when we die we will have no memory or recollection or awareness of our previous earthly life. We won’t know anything else but being in the presence of God. I told my wife later that I wonder if anyone told Moses and Abraham that when they appeared to Jesus on the mountain. For that matter, if our priest is correct (which he is most assuredly not), why do we even bother to pray to saints? Why bother to even pray to Mary?
Hopefully we’ll be successful in getting rid of this guy pretty soon.
