Boston church news is pretty much caught up today in the closing of a Catholic school in Brighton. It was scheduled to close anyway, but two days before the end of the school year, the archdiocese called the homes of the children and told them not to come in; school was over. (If the parents weren't home, they just left the message with the kids.)

The parents (including a city councillor) had tried to buy the school building at market value, but the archdiocese wouldn't sell. They plan to use it for hearings or whatever on accused priests. (Or, in Howie Carr's opinion, they expect the city councillor whose kids went there to block their request for a zoning change of use. Then they'll "have" to sell it to a condo developer.)

This has been most of local talk radio all day.

Bishop Lennon seems to be the one in charge of the process. One parent who dealt with him was, well, extremely unflattering.
