Bishop James Moynihan is strongly pro-life. Every time I have seen him, he was wearing a pro-life rose in his lapel.

Once was a Bishop's conference in Atlanta -- once was in Washington DC. But I believe I have seen him on two different occasions wearing the same pro-life rose in his lapel.

That may not keep his churches open, but it does show that he is not afraid to make a strong stand -- especially for the unborn...

Thank you for the personal testimony on behalf of Bishop Moynihan. When I initially posted this article, I confused Syracuse with Rochester (notice CLARK as a keyword). The northeastern part of the US has witnessed a migration of Catholics over the past few decades, to points in the South. The magnificent Churches erected by their ancestors, now stand empty in the cities they no longer inhabit. There are small stirrings but nothing significant enough to keep these Churches open. They are large and costly to maintain.
