The question was: So explain why Father left the idyllic Poconos to come to the slums of south Omaha?

You see, here is where your total lack of Catholic understanding is exposed. Why have priests for 2000 years left the comfort of home for missionary assignments?

God called Father Peter to abandon a comfortable life, where he appeared on CNN, wrote books, and traveled the country on speaking assignments... to come to a dying parish, whose constituency had all but abandoned their faith and turned the church into some pagan social gathering... and give these people a chance to regain some faith in God.

But you decided to crucify him.

In the end, he may leave, but you will be the loser, no priest, no money and eventually no parish

And with that I'm not condescending myself to "wrestle with pigs" any longer..

Continue with your lies and hypocrisy - but you will be preaching to the choir - just as you do on Sunday mornings.

Father will be exonerated, of that there is no doubt.

And in that act of exoneration, you people will have condemned yourself.

You will have crucified an innocent man.

God have mercy,

Don't bother to respond, I won't be reading your response. In place of spending any future time on this blog, I will be praying for your souls.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Stravinskas gave up the "comforts" of home for a missionary assignment? Don't make me laugh!

So that's why he redid the rectory, making two huge suites, one for himself, and one for his very close friend Nick; why he raided the St.Anthony treasury to pay off credit card debts? (Missionaries have credit card debts?); to pay off mortgages, etc. etc. etc.

Your cloying post may have gone over big with ignorant Catholic immigrants of centuries gone by, but not in this new information age. Now a priest's past will follow him wherever he goes, thanks to the internet.

Don't tell me about missionaries. My daughter and her husband are real missionaries--in Africa.

Why didn't Stravinskas and his lap dog go to a third world country if they wanted to experience the sacrifice and deprivation of REAL missionary life?
