This morning there was a meeting of the College of Consultors at the St. Pius X Spiritual Life Center in Blackwood, NJ. Ironically, one of the priests showed up with this bumper sticker on his car:
One question: where's the justice for Catholics in South Jersey? A bishop with ties to imprisoned criminal Raffaello Follieri swoops in and decides to shut down half our churches. Meanwhile, at last count, Galante's got three houses: Marywood (the bishop's residence), a house in Somers Point, and the as yet unoccupied "McRanchon" (oh, sorry, "convent") in Pittsgrove. (425 Langley Rd, purchased July 2008.) Previously he also had a beach house in Wildwood that he sold to Follieri for more than twice what he paid for it.Yeah, there's real justice. What a shepherd.
By the way, here's the priest with the "Catholic Campaign for Human Development" bumper sticker.
"If you want peace, work for justice."

Of course, it's not that we're necessarily opposed to the concept of peace flowing from justice. Heck, I'm even one of those weird vegetarians-types. We're opposed to the outright hypocrisy of those who would advocate forcible church closings out of one side of their mouths, and "justice" out of the other.
Interestingly, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development [USCCB] been a center of controversy for significant donations to the liberal voter registration group ACORN that only ended after it was revealed that almost a million dollars had been embezzled by the brother of its founder. Gee, why does this sound so familiar? A Catholic bishop involved in a large financial transaction with Democratically-affiliated con-artist later caught in an embezzlement scandal...
