To: HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity

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?

Give him a break -- he hasn't been here that long. He's still dealing with the sex abuse crisis suits, and he just announced the closure of 60 parishes in the Archdioceses (from what I heard on Howie Carr yesterday -- and I didn't hear the whole thing -- a number of the closed parishes are ok financially but apparently foster dissent). He can't do everything at once.

And a response to a suit means those remaining Catholics pay. The Church is like the government in that sense -- no money of its own.
