Via Fr. Romanowski, we recently received a letter from a Texas couple which briefly described what Bishop Galante did when he was down in Dallas, how devastating that has been, and how they are still dealing with the aftermath of his time there. They wished us all the best and assured us of their prayers in this struggle. Hopefully this will open up a line of communication and we thank them for reaching out to us.
Indeed we have already seen the patterns in other diocese, under other bishops who wish to similarly dismantle the Catholic Church and faith in their regions. However we have been certain that, given Bishop Galante's past actions in Texas, the reasons given to us in the Diocese of Camden for closing our churches and schools have nothing to do a priest shortage, demographic shifts, youth ministry, or any of the other rationales du jour. What we are witnessing is a program that has been instituted by Galante in other places and continues to be thrust upon the faithful in many other diocese throughout the country (Lansing, Pittsburgh, Boston, Scranton, and on and on).
