More propaganda by the diocese

Link here if you want to waste your time. More of the same. What a shame some people might actually believe this stuff.

For example:

Of the 124 parishes in the diocese currently, only one has a full-time, paid youth minister. Many parishes, as presently configured, lack the means to add the full-complement of paid, professional ministry positions that would be necessary to address the needs that the people themselves have identified as most pressing.

Paid staff="better ministry." I fail to see the logic. In addition, the diocese tries to disown the term "megachurch" by designating it a protestant term. Then why in the world is he closing all the small churches? Why does he hold up for example large churches? The bottom line is, for Bishop Galante, bigger is better and money=quality. How sad. Bishop, where does God fit into your plans? Does Our Lord play a role in all this?

(Article by "a Star Herald writer." All these uncredited articles remind me of what the Jehovah's Witnesses do in the Watchtower publication: watchtower.)

Why Save St. Mary's?

What's true for OL Queen of Peace, Pitman & Assumption, Wildwood Crest is also true for St. Mary's Malaga:

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

-Anthony Mecca, Queen of Peace Parish, Pitman (also on the slate for closure), May 8, 2008

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."

-Fred Spiewak, Assumption Parish, Wildwood Crest, June 11, 2008
