So your priest and parish is doing as well it can (which can be quite well, like the Toronto Oratory) with second-best.
But your pastor won't live forever, and presumably he will be transferred at some point to another parish. Your new bishop has only so many priests to work with. What's to prevent him from replacing him with a liberal dud who will undo all his good work?

<> Our new Bishop is a youthful, orthodox,Franciscan. I have no doubt our Diocese will thrive and generate sufficient, if not overabundant, vocations.
What will prevent my Bishop from replacing our Pastor with a liberal dud will be the influence of the Holy Spirit. I believe this orthodox, highly intelligent and prayerful Bishop is marked-out for higher things. I expect the Holy Spirit has plans for him on a national, if not international, stage and that before he leaves us, Bishop O'Malley will have us in wonderful shape.<>
