This isn't really much of a blog post, more of just an "isn't it funny." Isn't it funny that the Catholic Star Herald doesn't seem to be covering anything about what "the people" are thinking and doing? Isn't it funny that they aren't reporting on THE most significant events in the diocese? They want to ignore people's disgust and outrage. Their plan is backfiring on them, they have no support for what they are doing--closing people's churches. But who wants to cover that? Makes them look bad. I actually called the Catholic Star Herald a couple of weeks ago to let them know about savestmarys.net, in the event they might want to cover it. (Yeah right!) Needless to say, the editor never got back to me.

Galante is the publisher and Walton is the Associate Publisher. So if you're actually paying for a subscription, I'd cancel it!
