Sounds like a daily Mass with less than 10 people, like old nuns and women and an old priest.

Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. Perhaps this heinous act will strike the hearts of local catholics and draw them back to their faith.

You posted this same comment on another thread.

“Old nuns, and women and an old priest”

I heard Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen say once that the church was held together by little old ladies at morning Mass.
He likened them to the “the ten good people” who Abraham offered when he bargained with God for the saving of the city.
And “old priest” could very easily be a seasoned and wise and faithful priest standing before God for the people he ministers to.

So we have “10 (faithful) people” and some faithful nuns, a venerable “old priest” there to offer Mass for them...faithfully executing the duties of his consecrated life.

And you find that worthy of some sort of veiled ridicule?
