We used to think of the Church as a constant from the Roman Empire to current times...

And an illegal immigrant to boot! He checked off all the boxes - instant canonization!

This whole thing was a heretical farce.

I attended a Catholic school. My husband and I went through Pre-Cana. Our priest flew from Rome to marry us.

Two of my three children were christened by the Catholic church.

Crap like this is why we coverted to Baptist.

Momback, TWTX.

She (Holy Mother Church) is still the spotless Bride of Christ, regardless of the misbehavior, arguably blatant unbelief, among many of her fallible priests and prelates, including specifically Timothy Cardinal Dolan of NYC who is directly responsible for this disgraceful spectacle.

Good grief!! YOU are responsible for your eternal life, not the Pope or some Priest!! How could you give up HOLY COMMUNION???

Obviously, your husband is NOT Catholic and you decided to go his way.....it's YOUR soul. and you put this info out here. Don't blame me for commenting on it.

The cathedral needs to be exorcised and be ritually purified before Mass can be said again.

Ritual is what wrecked the thing. Ritual by its very definition is superficial and meaningless, like belief in magic.

Please stop your nonsense. The man who was giving me the sacraments of reconciliation and the eucharist every Saturday and Sunday for the first 20 years of my life was found out to be a prolific pedophile. To think I was worried about missing a mass on the occasional Sunday.

The current head of your church is an avowed socialist, you cannot have it both ways. Either the Pope is infallible on church teaching or he isn’t. So when Red Frankie speaks, he’s speaking for all of you. Thank God for the freedom of the Gospel.

Give me a break! The Pope or ANY Priest is NOT responsible for where Your SOUL lands for eternity!!

I've had a Priest REMOVED from Church because of BAD ACTIVITY, but he had NOTHING to do with my SOUL!

You are just using an excuse.

I would think so, too. Demons desecrated the sanctuary, so those demons can still be there. That is most likely also the case in the average liberal “church.” So sorry to see this happen to St. Patrick’s, but in these last days we will be seeing more of this.

As Protestants — one Baptist, one Calvinist Presbyterian — I doubt either of us would be granted a funeral service in a Roman Catholic church. But this atheist was? Seems odd. Does the church allow that now?

Those who arranged it lied to the person who arranges funerals for St Patrick’s.

I’ve seen that reported. I hope it’s true. But what I saw seemed more life “plausible deniability.”

Sorry. Still looks like plausible deniability.

The Catholic Church believes in good rituals and bad. It would be an Exorcism.
