You call Gods Holy Church a dump?The only reason you go to St. Anthony's is you are a star follower.(but even stars loose their shine. F. Peter lost the respect of the original congregation because of his attitude.And his childish behavior.

I'm impressed! God gave you the charism to determine other people's motives! Why don't you simply ask Ancilla why St. Anthonys was their parish of choice, perhaps Ancilla chose to go to St. Anthony's to get away from liturgical abuse.

And if you saw St. Anthony's before Father fixed it up, the only way to describe it was a dump. Let's face it, Jesus was living in a dump. Father thought that our Lord deserved something better than that, don't you?

As far as losing the respect of the congregation, St. Anthony's was one of the fastest growing parishes in the diocese in 2004, and will be in 2005, if Father decides to continue to put up with this bull. And also, It was the fourth ranking parish in the diocese in responding to the Bishop's "Feed My Sheep" campaign, which is directly attributed to the congregation responding to Father's appeal.

You are absolutely on target here South O. I followed Father Peter's bright and shining light of gospel truth and liturgical integrity right in to St Anthony's parish. His beacon of faithfullness to the magisterium, his love of our blessed mother and his total unwavering dedication to Christ has completely won me over.

I even had the nerve to drag my family along. They are also following his star.

A portion of the original congragation never HAD any respect for Father. The lynch mob tried to block his arrival when they found out he was coming. You know that. It's funny that I have to keep reminding you of the truth here.

And keep in mind that not ALL the Lithuanians hate Father. Just you and your mob.

One more reminder. It was a dump. It was a dump encircled with a fence and closed off to the poor and immigrant Catholics that surrounded it. You were keeping Jesus from his people. And now you are trying to crucify Jesus again by scandalizing one of his faithful priests.

Why don't you post to my blog site so I can see who you are?
Still hiding in the shadows aren't you. Maybe you're afraid someone will break out your car window?
