How the Grinch Stole...the Diocese of Camden???

Have you ever noticed that the Diocese of Camden...
How the Grinch Stole: 2008
ripped off Dr. Seuss???
How the Grinch Stole: 1966

A remarkable likeness! How appropriate!
Well, Wa Hoo Voorays! (Watch clip here.)

Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did not. The Grinch hated Christmas - the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or maybe his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Yahoo, Vollmer! Wawa churches! The number of ways to reinvent that song are nearly endless. But of course we know that if we were really charitable Christians we would humbly submit to the bold leadership and greet with joy and happiness the forced closure of half the churches in the diocese! Too bad the Whos down in Whoville don't care for the Grinch's dastardly schemes. Wa Hoo Voorays, one and all!

Why Save St. Mary's?

What's true for OL Queen of Peace, Pitman & Assumption, Wildwood Crest is also true for St. Mary's Malaga:

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

-Anthony Mecca, Queen of Peace Parish, Pitman (also on the slate for closure), May 8, 2008

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."

-Fred Spiewak, Assumption Parish, Wildwood Crest, June 11, 2008
