Listen - We are not all a bunch of monolithic rump rangers here in Boston.
You and many other non New Englanders should have seen the men at the Boston Men's Catholic Conference this last weekend.
Father John Corapi spoke twice to the group and vehemently spoke against the homosexual invasion of our Church. He spoke against Kerry and any politician who endorses abortion, he called Boston the Baghdad of the US - all of this to thunderous applause by 5,300 Catholic men of New england. Most of whom where from Boston. Each time he spoke he was interrupted by men calling out in agreement and cheering what he had to say. The lines to meet him after his talks were the longest in the conference.
Others who spoke against the liberal filth in our Church also meet with approval.

Glad to hear it. But, since most of the news I hear, regarding the Catholic Church, coming out of Boston is fairly negative, that is what I based my comment on. Get the word out and educate the rest of us. And, BTW I'm familiar with the good people of Massachusetts. I have lots of family there.

I was there, as well. I especially liked the tweak Fr. Corapi gave to the archdiocese when he railed against the "Catholic politicians in Massachusetts and elsewhere" who have been allowed to act as they do while they go unchallenged as "Catholics." It was an indirect slap, but a needed one. And Fr. Corapi got a standing-o for it!

You're right, we are hardly a monolithic group of rump rangers up here. But we will have to listen to the abuse for as long as we are perceived as doing nothing about it. 5300 men got their marching orders last Saturday at that conference. I think they're of a mind to start "doing something" about it! The entire New England province, and the Archdiocese of Boston in particular, will soon be put on notice, by these men and those they influence, that they had better pay more attention to the doctrine of the Faith and the rank-and-file believers in that Faith, than they do to the politicians and "beautiful people" around here whom they schmooze to gain money and political influence - the attainment of which reliably winds-up being ill-served and counterproductive to the ends of our beliefs anyway.
