I live in the Scranton Diocese. Bishop Martino was in a very difficult situation where he had to close many churches and close Catholic schools to save the Diocese from going bankrupt. Plus the growing priest shortage forced his hand. He had to make many difficult decisions
and thus made enemies in doing so. My family thought he was the best, but there were many people in our church whom stopped contributing money into the collection basket to protest his decisions.

WOW! Sounds like some people got their “precious feelings” hurt.
