Thanks for the bump. The WSJ seems downright Catholic lately. Its a wonderful thing to see this kind of pressure brought to bear on Msgr. Sweeney's bishop by a publication of no less a stature than the WSJ.

If this parish were anywhere in my diocese, I would attend it.

My own parish has the only Perpetual Adoration chapel in my diocese (well, its not exactly Perpetual...my pastor says our own bishop frowns upon perpetual adoration. If we had 24/7 adoration, canonically we'd have to have the bishop's approval. My pastor's solution? "We just won't do it on Sunday. That way its not "perpetual" so we won't have to ask...")

God Bless Msgr. Sweeney. I pray the exposure this WSJ article gets will put pressure on the good bishop to do the right thing.

I wish the WSJ luck. You may be on to something here though. Our Bishops do seem more attentive to the secular press than they do to their duties. Now, if only the N.Y. Times would write favorably about this situation.....
