Excellent. As someone who was directly involved in helping to make that place CATHOLIC, I dare say, most of these so called "catholic" schools are NO LONGER Catholic. The poor pastor, he tried so hard to make the school catholic, and this means that the official teachings of the church were to be taught: just as it comes from ROME, i.e. the VATICAN, THE NEW CATECHISM ETC. and for this the wonderful members of the parish who backed the pastor, such as I for one, only got persecution in return, great suffering, ridicule, and worse of all, some of us were slandered as being "liars."
I know one thing, great Pastors who have the...courage to stand up to liberal dissent (even if the dissenters have unions) to defend CHURCH teachings and DOGMA are real priests who are not intrested in church politics, nor beuracratic diocesan offices, and they deserve our love, respect, help.
I for one, and many many other young Catholics are tired of the moderate/liberal non-sense, and hence NOW only support OPUS DEI SCHOOLS, and Home Schooling (Roman Catholic Home-schooling). Very few dioceses remain catholic, the REAL Roman Catholic ones are: Lincoln, Nebraska, Denver, Omaha.

Yes, I was a member of the Parish Council, and and very active in trying to make that place Catholic. Let us always pray for the GREAT priest, Fr. Murr: as all humans, maybe he had some ups and down (like all of us Catholics) but one thing is for sure: HE WAS AND I AM SURE IS COMMITTED TO DEFEND CHURCH TEACHING. HE WAS NO DUMMY, HE HS A LICENTIATE IN THEOLOGY FROM THE GREGORIAN IN ROME, GRADUATE DEGREES IN PSYCHOLOGY FROM NYU, and vast Experience WITHIN ROME, OF WHICH THANK GOD HE HAS MANY FRIENDS IN THE HIGHER UPS WITHIN THE VATICAN. All these things the LIBERAL present pastor of that parish has not even half of.
