ROTFLOL! I was laughing so hard I had to go make a cup of tea before I could type. That's priceless. I have to forward that to some people I know in LA who say things of Mahoney that would get you banned on FR.

You can yell at the bishops but if the people are not giving enough to keep the parish open there are few alternatives.

It could be the bishop’s weakness and it could be the priests in certain parishes but the one thing I have noticed coming from Protestantism to Catholicism is that Catholics don’t give a lot of money. They expect a lot and give very little.

Another thing is that many priests spend parishes into insolvency.
