So back when a pastor could stay for decades in a parish there was a strong identification among that group that would be only a few miles or even blocks apart. As the population of priests dwindled the Archdiocese sometimes moved a priest to neighboring parishes while backfilling the moved priest with an insurgent. I was surprised to see numbers of people move with the priest. Additionally, nee priests suffered from not continuing the old pastor’s method of Mass and even what he preached. Mind you that this was all after the NO was well established and the perennial Mass still suppressed. So there would be walk-outs, for example, from Mass when the Archbishop’s letter against legalizing homosexual marriage was read during the homily. To some extent the shopping I have seen is single issue motivated or a vague preference for ‘style’. In my case it was after years of casual disrespectful self absorbed ad hoc liturgy and music that pushed the idea that we all get to heaven unless you disagree with any of the lay ministers. rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-1208417517735031232019-01-26T07:36:00.638-05:002019-01-26T07:36:00.638-05:00Coming soon (if not already here) in the Catholic ...Coming soon (if not already here) in the Catholic Church.
