This homosexual thing is a social engineering experiment to gutt the church and integrate Catholics into the gay agenda. Fight back. Sue the homosexuals, sue the diocese, sue NAMBLA. Get your own buildings back. Heterosexual Catholic people donated the money for these treasures. What has happened in American Catholicism is that some of the worst elements in the Catholic community have managed to get control of the church - liberals, sodomites, and catered-buffet-fed careerists only interested in fine dining and vacation resorts.
Are you serious???? Our own regional vicar has already plotted out the order in which parishes should be closed, down to the last one. One more lawsuit and they can just close down the Boston archdiocese and have done with it.
There was talk regarding closing parishes going back way before the scandals. The scandals didn't help but the problem is that most Catholics do not go to Mass and most Catholics do not send their kids to Catholic school for a Catholic religious education.
A couple of local studies have shown that only about 20% of Boston Archdiocese Catholics attend Mass once a week.
The sad part is the diocese would most likely be more responsive to such a suit more than it would to the pleas of the orthodox faithful. I thought the new bishop was touted as more catholic than the Pope?
