Facts:

The prior bishop approved all that the university had planned. The church building is the university chapel and it nmakes sense that the university would assign one of the priests on staff to be the chaplain. The new bishop realized that the people in town who were not part of the university also needed a parish, so he stepped in and reversed the former bishop’s approval.

The church was ready to be used in October 2007, and it opened as the parish church in March 2008, after the new bishop worked out the details with the university. Stuart hates the parish because Mass is normally in English, and becuase women are allowed to wear pants and don’t wear chapel veils, and because evening Mass for students often includes praise and worship music with guitars.

If they music is in Spanish, we'd be right at home! (Except that I never wear pants other than for yardwork: I'm too stout.)
