Well, thanks for throwing water on our "Goodby, Bishop Pilla" party.
Actually, anyone would be an improvement over Bishop Pilla. I don't care if Bishop Lennon is "not responsive" enough to people's feelings, we've had 25 years of that with Pilla, whose biggest concern was his public image. Because Pilla didn't want to upset anyone (except orthodox Catholics), he allowed the heretical group, FutureChurch, to grow from a small, local organization, into a national group. He has filled the chancery with radical nuns and bureaucrats who want priestless parishes, women's ordination, and endless liturgical changes. He has imposed liturgical changes on the diocese that are not required by the Roman Missal, such as forcing everyone to stand throughout the Communion Rite. He has permitted the diocese's gay and lesbian ministry to promote the homosexualist agenda in parishes and schools. He has permitted CORPUS, which is a group of married ex-priests, to continue to agitate for married priests. He ignores ALL complaints of liturgical abuse, general absolution, or public dissent from Church teaching. During the last 25 years, the number of priests and seminarians declined. I could go on.
Welcome, Bishop Lennon.
Well, sorry about the water throwing. Just trying to be a good neighbor and let you in on what you're getting... ;-)
