PGK you couldn’t have articulated my sentiments any more clearly!

Additionally, my Diocese is consolidating Parishes all over and closing their churches, yet weekly we are taking up special collections for our new, $6M Church building, the financing of which includes hefty loans from the Diocese. Incongrous to say the least, and quite disturbing that we are closing Churches, but the Diocese has money to erect glass palaces.

Why not use the money to keep Churches active so grandma doesn’t have to take a bus two towns over to go to Mass, when she used to walk to the Church on the corner?

Vivat Jesus!

Have you found or tried a local Latin Mass?

After you pay back the Diocese for your church, doesn't the Diocese own the church anyway???
