Snippet: As Anthony Mecca watched the head of the Camden Diocese begin his slow walk across the field next to Our Lady of Pompeii Church, he held aloft his hand-drawn sign, written in Latin. "Pater, dimmitte Galante," it began. Underneath, the translation read, "Father, forgive Galante."
Commentary:
Here's an Amen to that! Despite the fact that it was a weekday evening, Bishop Galante was the recipient of more than 50 protesters (the Press apparently underestimated) at the"Catholic tent revival" held on the grounds of Our Lady of Pompeii Church in East Vineland last night. The diocesan spokesman Andy Walton says that he hopes we'll see the need for the closures and that they'll pray for us. Well we won't and right back at ya.
The bishop knows we'll be at various events and it doesn't stop him from going around, says Walton? That's a lie. Not only has his schedule been altered and the bishop forced to have many of his meetings in Camden instead of the Pius X retreat center (which is right next door to his home), he has stopped publishing things in the Star Herald's calendar. The bishop has both canceled and proposed cancellation of various events, including masses, for fear of the protesters. We're winning, and he knows it.
