I don’t know this bishop. I see he succeeds Wuerl the Girl as bishop of Pittsburgh. But it doesn’t sound good. Maybe instead of closing churches, close the HQ and give him a small apartment.

He has given one of the parishes to the ICKSP starting in October.

This has been a long time coming. Anyone who attends church regularly can tell you that attendance is falling. Old reliables are dying and young people are not coming... this isn’t a uniquely catholic problem in the least. Just areas like Pittsburgh that had very high catholic densities are more noticeable than other areas of the country.

He is probably fixing what Weurl wrecked.

Oddly enough Heinz food processing and their famous 57 varieties of pickles are also out of Pittsburg. Not to mention Heinz 57 sauce.

Actually when he was installed he declined to live in the Bishop's residence and instead inhabits in a small apartment at a seminary.

That being said, this dog-and-pony show has been a thorough insult to the intelligence of all Catholics. It is clear he's known what he wanted to do for at least five years. But they created this phony process to try and make us feel like our opinions actually mattered.

My main concern at this point is that none of the closed churches get turned into mosques.
