I wonder what the end game is if St. Stanislaus hires priests not on the payroll of the St. Louis archdiocese, say retired priests or priests of some independent order. What happens then? That is the announced intention of the Board.
The nearly half of the parishioners of St. Stanislaus who have been "exiled" by the board will now have a parish of their own. This move by the Archbishop seems, to a certain degree, confirm that the board of St. Stans is going into schism.
It will become a matter for the parishioners to decide if they want to remain Catholics or become protestants (no offense is intended to our Protestant brothers and sisters here).
I don't know if these people truly understand the ramifications of their actions.
