I was pleasantly surprised a couple of months ago. Recall when Msgr.Eugene Clark gave his Homily 4-21 of this year I took the liberty of sending him a supporting letter and was quite surprised to receive acknowledgement from the Monsignor. It was no form letter but one of real substance. I believe we should encourage the courageous clergy and politely encourage dissenting clergy to leave by the front door.

Msgr. Clark is a true man of God. And you get stars in your crown, ejo, for encouraging a faithful priest.

We all need to take up a Barnabas-like ministry of supporting and encouraging the godly and the faithful by our prayers, letters, e-mails and calls.

As per St. Bernadette's national list of "gay friendly" parishes, there are three parishes in the Archdiocese of New York that need fumigating:

St. Paul the Apostle - Manhattan, New York City
St. Francis Xavier - Manhattan, New York City
St. Joseph's - Greenwich Village

Did you get the impression from Msgr. Clark's substantive letter that he would be interested in knowing about St. Bernadette's national list and that three parishes in his own backyard have made the hit parade?
