i agree totally with regard to Bishop Loverde! i went to a Confirmation last fall and heard him speak, he is fantastic. he has also headed prayer vigils at the abortion clinic next to St. James in Falls Church (where my kids attend school) regularly. However, our parish, OLGC, and the priests there, are the pits...

"Our Lives Gathered in Community" (?!?!?!?!) is an Order parish. St. Joseph's in Herndon is also, and is rather squishier than its purely diocesan neighbors. I suspect that your pastor is more answerable to his superiors in the Oblates than he is to Bishop Loverde. In what manner is your parish "the pits"?
