UPDATE: Archbishop Lori’s letter to the faithful / Primatial see in total collapse: city down to 21 parishes

Cancelling what works and turning off the lights here:



N.B. No mention here of saving souls. Or of the insanity of requiring some people to “transition” on a geographical basis to the Novus Ordo and others not. The complete violation of pastoral solicitude is incredible.

Meanwhile:

The new springtime for the Church we’ve all been promised has now arrived: only 2,000 still attend Sunday Mass weekly in Baltimore.

The two parishes that offer the traditional Latin Mass and
 the Anglican use rite account, according to one source, for 41% of those still showing up in church.

“The blind lead the blind and both fall into a pit.”

Proposal would radically reshape Catholic Baltimore, cut parishes by 66%

  1. Its hard to believe I can be shocked anymore, Father, but this is just bizarre. The devil himself could not have engineered a better way to kill the faith in the capital city of America's First See. In many ways I see the Dali hitting the Key Bridge as a parable of what is happening to this archdiocese. God have mercy on us sinners.

  2. Beyond sad & pathetic, a deliberate gutting of the traditional Faith by wolves in sheep’s clothing. I will never understand the stupidity & downright demonic belief that a bastardized “version” of the traditional mass concocted in the 1960’s somehow usurps over 2000 years of tradition. I’m finding it difficult to pray for the fools false shepherds that are dancing with the devil on the ashes of our Faith.
