I would never have gone to the Paulist Center for fulfilling my Sunday obligation. For that, I would go to the Melkites in Roslindale (Before I started going to the TLM at Holy Trinity in 1990). No, I went to the PC (how apt!) to document the abuses there. I went over and over because I was a glutton for punishment back then, and because I thought something might eventually come of my letters to the chancery about these things. Not much came of them, as far as I know. Oh, well, at least they were obliged to stop the most egregious abuses as part of the fallout when Law caught up with them on their invalid baptism scandal back in the ‘90’s.

To be fair -- and it's painful -- I'm not sure how much the archbishop of Boston can do about it in practical terms. Granted, the Paulists operate in Boston on the sufferance of the bishop which could in theory be withdrawn. But how could it be enforced? The Paulists probably own or lease the building on their own. If they said they're staying, I'm not clear on what he could do.

I'm unfamiliar with the baptism scandal -- could you fill me in?
