My apologies - I misunderstood your post.

I grew up on this diocese also. I knew one of the breakaway members of that church (very frustrating listening to her)
We have spent the past few years in a neighboring diocese that is more orthodox (for the benefit of the kids)
However - there are many good people we miss. It is frustrating to watch good folks who want to serve go off to St. Bernard's for their studies and come back speaking "Rochester speak".

I hope it doesn't take 5-7 yrs., but I believe that is the maximum time period before he is expected to retire.
It will take quite a strong personality to come in after Clark.

St. Bernards = "Rochester Speak".........LOL, we have noticed that as well. I back away from all of those in our church who have gone there. And of course you can hold NO position at the church unless you have gone there and been indoctrinated. It will take a few generations to purge this diocese of Rochester Speak, but I hope the Pope makes this a priority.
