God bless the pastor of St. Anne Church in Charlotte for his excellent homily under duress and his advice on how to deal with the arrogance of the spirit of Vatican II shoved down the throats of so many in the most pre-Vatican II ways. A great, pastoral homily. Read The Pillar’s article by pressing the title below.

He is a very brave priest.
The bishop obviously does not know his flock. The bishop also sounds like a "Novus Rad", demanding people stand for Holy Communion, no altar rails, all things NEVER called for by Vatican II.
He seems to have his own version of the RC going. Even Leo hasn't modeled what he's calling for.
The destruction of stable parishes to suit the whim of an individual is puzzling.
Father Timothy Reid said..."Bitterness and despair must find no despair in our hearts. Don’t allow whatever anger you’re feeling to be sinful."
"There is a place for just anger over this situation, but your anger should not get the better of you or lead you to make imprudent, brash, or judgmental comments…"
"Let’s not focus on what’s being taken away, but focus on what we’re being given: an opportunity to suffer a deprivation for Christ."

That is the Christlike way...the Catholic Way...to response to the situation in question. That, in turn, is far more likely to elicit a positive response from Church authorities in regard to the situation in Charlotte.
The vicious, verbal, attacks against the Bishop/Traditionis Custodes served Satan and his cause.
In regard to the Charlotte Diocese: I pray that my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ will experience liturgical peace.
Pax.

Actually, Traditiones Custodes serves Satan and his cause
The way TLM adherents have been battered - for decades - is just mean-spirited to evil. Imagine what the likes of Fr. Martin/Fishwrap would howl about if the shoe was on the other foot.
MT Suit,
When are you going to explain how Pope Francis disciplined the clerics at the Vatican who engaged in a cocaine fueled gay sex orgy? Inquiring minds would like to know
MT Suit,
Is English a second language for you? What you have written is incomprehensible
MT Suit,
You also do not know how to read the room. Father McDonald in his byline referred to Traditiones Custodes as a travesty. Capish?
