Regarding this article, the following comment was left on the Courier Post website. Interestingly, the Courier Post seemed to change the address of the St. Bart's article after having originally posted it. This is something we've not seen here before at savestmarys since we obviously link to all relevant CP articles. But we were alerted by faithful readers of the site and immediately linked to the new location of the article.

In addition to this, it appears that the CP removed about 23 comments that had been left on the St. Bart's article. It's abundantly clear to many of us that there are "connections" of some kind between the CP and the Diocese of Camden's chancery office. (Thank goodness Kim Mulford wrote a balanced and thought-provoking piece regarding St. Bart's. Jim Walsh of the CP, however, seems to write nothing but pro-Diocesan puff pieces. Really makes you wonder about what goes on up there at the Courier Post, doesn't it?) All this prompted a persistent reader to say:

Since my Sunday comments were removed, I once again give the link to the AC Press article that listed the real estate values (according to tax records) of the churches scheduled to close

At the onset of these reconfigurations, we were told we would have a "priest shortage" in the next 5 or so years.

Methinks the Bishop's office speaks out of both sides of their collective mouths.

And "Harmony", I think you are from the Bishop's office who, for whatever reasons, was able to kill all the comments from Sunday,

What's the matter??? Can't stand the truth??? Time you all realize we no longer "pray, pay and obey"

These are the parishes we built with OUR money and give of OUR time to sustain them. YOU will never take them away from us!
