Dear sinkspur,

"Things seem to be working quite well in the parishes (five of them) served by Anglican dispensation priests in our diocese."

If I recall correctly, one of these pastors showed execrably poor judgment in permitting a priest from Pennsylvania to serve his parish without any faculties whatsoever from the bishop. Perhaps the attention paid to wife and family distracted him from his obligations to his bishop and his parishioners?

Fr. Hawkins and the priest were old friends, and he disregarded a Scranton directive that the guy was not in ministry there.

He also didn't notify the Ft. Worth diocese that the priest was working in his parish on Sundays.

It was simply a matter of "this stuff doesn't apply to me; I know better."

That attitude affects single people and married people.
