St. Francis Xavier parish in New York City is defying Archbishop Dolan’s request and planning to participate in the “Pr!de March” scheduled for June 27.

Ask the Anglican Communion how institutionalized dissent is working for them.
From the Parish Council meeting agenda:
"We must consider as we did during the renovation/restoration planning meetings the tensions among the various values we embody as a Roman Catholic parish community."
A review of the renovation plans shows that they have planted the baptismal pool at the foot of the original high altar.
I guess there won't be celebrating Mass ad orientam any time soon.
At least not without hip waders....

Boo-hoo Archbishop Dolan doesn't get his way--big deal.
One now has to cultivate a sense of indignation and outrage, so vin ordinaire is the blasphemy in which Jesuits engage.
I am very happy to read this article..thanks for giving us this useful information.
