Trust requires faith, of which there has been a hostile takeover in the Camden Diocese. Virtual pink slips have been given to many priests not fitting the desired corporate criteria who will no longer be needed as we downsize and consolidate to prepare for a lay-run church.

Then again, lest I be too harsh, if the corporate intent of our parent company is to deny Christ's actual presence in that communion wafer, ala our ecumenical sisters (Protestants), then, in reality, a priest for consecration is no longer needed. Harry and Ruth from up the street can do it.

Picture for a moment our future purged, excuse me, merged and megachurches with many characters on the stage (altar) as they play "Grease," with laity to the left, right and center. Don't forget that music ministry, it will also need a place.

Stained glass windows will give way to licensing agreements with corporate sponsors just in case collections are down for the annual report. The only thing possibly missing might be faith, but there's coffee and doughnuts.

Fortunately, Jesus is anti-corporation. His mother, at Fatima, entrusted the Catholic hierarchy with a message (third secret) of utmost importance concerning the future of the Catholic Church and the dangers to the faith. Unfortunately, it did not fit in with the diocese's corporate plans.

What's really needed is an administrative dissolution.
