My priest too, but he always is, he’s one of the oldest and most orthodox priests in the entire Archdiocese (Portland, OR). However, my Mom and my sister, both in east bay San Francisco region of California, say in their parishes the topic has NEVER EVEN COME UP! I guess the bishop there has been too busy putting the finishing touches on his multi-million dollar Crystal Cathedral (which Mom says looks like a glass nuclear power plant!).
Didn’t realize that SanFrancisco was getting a new cathedral. At least it won’t be the ugly box building that LA Archdiocese has.
Will be interesting to see pictures when it is finished.
