For your information and avid discussion. In two years. Hmmmm. I am thinking that this audit and policy review needs to take place sooner.

Any other feedback about the old members and new members of the committee?

I went to seminary with Bob Vasa.

He was a bit of an apple-polisher, and none of the seminarians trusted him because he was one of Msgr. Hughes' "boys."

He was a nice enough guy, but very hard to get to know.

I would have bet that he would be a bishop someday, though that's not necessarily a good thing.

"pastor of St. Gerard Majella parish, Kirkwood, 1990-1996."

I wonder if he was the one who built the new church building? I've only been in it once, 7 years ago or so, but it's one of those semi-circle ampitheatre style things. It's a trendy parish.

I think he was one who was high on the liturgy stuff, too.

Bishop Howard J. Hubbard - Region 2

Hubbard is currently being investigated by the RCF organization. According to Stephen Brady, the president of RCF:

I attend a diocesan parish and have never attended a parish affiliated with the Society of St. Pius X, so I cannot be rightly accused of pushing some “hidden agenda”. A Mass I once attended in an Albany diocesan church in Oneonta, NY, was celebrated by Bishop Howard Hubbard. According to parish members, the bishop used a homemade bread for the Eucharist that contained honey and other ingredients that would have made the Blessed Sacrament invalid. This is but one small example of what I have heard and witnessed in the last seven years of RCF’s existence. The Holy Father knows of these and many more abuses that have occurred with the apparent or outright approval of bishops in “good standing” with Rome. If the Pope does not take some action, and if he allows the continual deterioration of the Church in dissident dioceses, it may yet come to pass that the only Catholic Mass or faithful teachings to be found in these areas will be at a Pius X chapel.

More on this later.

Harry Flynn of St Paul is a bit spotty on his record; Hubbard is downright awful; doesn't look like an improvement over the other committee...

I got to know Bishop Baker when he was my mother-in-laws parish priest at Christ the King Church in Jacksonville. I found him to be bright, articulate and very orthodox. He is one of the good ones. God bless him!

Bishop Howard J. Hubbard

If Hubbard's on the committee, you can bet it will accomplish nothing.
