Notice the criteria for people being picked to be on the Core Team. They want people who are willing to follow the program and be willing to lose their parishes. No dissent allowed. This is very sad.
Quote from the article:
Core Team members will be selected from a pool of nominated parishioners. This month, each current pastor of the parishes that will be merged will nominate six lay persons from his parish who meet key leadership criteria.
This month, all Core Team nominees are asked to take a web-based assessment tool (ICHANGE) to determine their attitude toward change. The nominees will forward the results of the assessment to their pastor.
The Priest Convener and the current pastors will meet by Oct. 1 to review the nominees, their leadership and experience, their capacity for assuming the responsibilities, their attitude toward change, and their receptivity to the work ahead (see side bar).
Ooooh, wow. Just gives you chills reading about it, huh? Can you just feel the Holy Ghost at work here? YIKES! Are these "nominee" people applying for a job? Must they also submit a resume? Why in the world would anyone do this? And where does it say in the article that interested participants ought to pray about this?
It just makes you wonder how much further Vollmer, Galante, and Company could get from Our Lord and His Blessed Mother. Do they pray? How in the world could they possibly think that an ungodly "web-based assessment tool (ICHANGE)" could involve the promptings of Our Lord in this "process." They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Let's pray for them daily. Pray for their conversion to the Holy Catholic Faith. They will be responsible for the souls they take down along the way, and the ones who stay away from the True Church because of their actions. And faithful Catholics, please don't be afraid to speak out about something you know to be wrong. Call a spade a spade.
