narses, I haven’t seen it. New England is gospel-parched. I am going exploring, looking for new parishes. I frequent about 15 parishes in my area. And travel to NH ... went to Maine ... barely a peep. The priests are DEMS. I need to expand my world to new parishes and drop some of the 15 from my list. I am praying for a solution, cause in the areas where we need to beat the DEMS (the Northeast), the pro-family movement is weakest.
I posted this in another thread:
I was out-of-town yesterday visiting a parish, and the Monsignor told us to stand down, that it is not a big deal and “everything will be worked out wonderfully.” We’ve been reduced to a situation where the only pastoral leadership in Conn is coming from Linda McMahon. Get me out of here.
I haven't seen it either here in the Philly area. I would speculate that at least 75 to 80 percent of the Mass attenders in my parish wouldn't vote Dem anyway and of the Dem voters, this is a non issue. In other words, the outraged Catholics were already outraged by the Dems. The contraception mandate has changed nothing.
For Novus Ordo Masses (if one must) find Father Donald French in the New Haven area. Immaculate Conception Church in Waterbury is highly unlikely to be liberal. Find Father Paul Check in the Bridgeport Diocese. I have not been to St. Mary's in New Haven in more than ten years, but it was generally reasonably conservative since you and I were both regulars there. There are others.
As to mere politics, unless we can achieve ABR, there is no point in ABO. R=O=R=O=R=O, etc. Rule or ruin! Also remember: politics is the province of the laity.
