Actually, it was 299 to 5. The other 150-200 parishioners "exiled" were not allowed to vote unless they attended meeting. Having been ostracized, they submitted their votes via mail...they were rejected and not counted.
I'm assuming that you were not aware of all of the facts.
There is no 'lrslattery' on the parish roles & tell the truth as to who wrote the letter. The, at most, 60 (not 150-200) could not write such a letter without intervention or assistance. In adition, 150-200 signatures contains a large gap of 50! The 10-11 families were not exiled, they left with the ADMINISTRATOR after no explainations for questionable expendatures caused him to lose signatory rights to the operating account. Annulments, jobs, and other monetary considerations have been provided to those 60 in exchange for their WORK against the parishioners of St. Stanislaus. THERE HAS BEEN A 3RD PARTY AUDIT CONDUCTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!! (FOR THE UPTEENTH TIME). The individuals that left are NO LONGER parishioners of St. Stan's or St. John's. They are parishioners of St. Agatha's.
