I can understand how upset you must be over this. And yes, longtime and loyal families in the neighborhood will be the grassroots voice that will eventually straighten out the mess at the school and parish.

I think most of us grieve with you and your family and friends who attend that parish and that school. What the priest did is evil. Plain and simple. It only reflects on him.

I for one will pray for the parish's perseverance in faith and apologize if any of this hurt you, for you and the good people of the parish are not the target of our anger. It's the bishops and priests, along with their complicity or apathy, that we are REALLY upset with.

I would agree with you except the other article re Father Thompson cites this: Father Thompson was forced to resign as pastor of St. Elizabeth's on March 24. He took up temporary residence at St. Gertrude's parish in Far Rockaway, though he left there yesterday. He remains in good standing with the diocese, and is allowed to continue saying Mass.
