Those dioceses which are run by Lavender Mafia bishops, on the other hand, and actively recruit homosexuals to the priesthood, while pushing out those men who are too "rigid" when it comes to traditional Church teaching and devotions, are failing. Like mine. Worse than failing; losing members to the Evangelical Churches.

Albany, Rochester, LA and a few others are special cases of "failing by design."

We have a new Parochial Vicar. At first he seemed decent. Wrong. Very activist..... in a bad way.
Our last Parochial Vicar was a Presbytarian convert, an absolute hard-liner. His people skills needed sharpening.
His underlying themes were:
-I'm a sinner but given salvation through Christ.
-Just because society says it's okay, doesn't mean God agrees.
-Go and sin no more means just that.
-Yes, our church was founded by a man. Jesus Christ, the son of God was the man!
I miss him.
