my bishop stopped naming them, why? our diocese can’t afford the raise in salary to pay them.
The local priest must have gotten in just under the wire. Knowing what I know of that priest, it sickens me that he was honored with the title of “Monsignor”. But it is par for the course for post-Vatican II moves. I wouldn’t be surprised if Francis (and his liberal Congregation of Bishops) has a hand in making him bishop one day.
I need a shower.
