I guess defiance can be rewarded after all. And all our talk about Archbishop O’Malley going in to remove the Eucharist from those who abuse was off base, too. The Archdiocese of Boston has offered to allow the former parish of St. Albert in Weymouth to once again have Mass celebrated there. It’s only on Sundays and only until all appeals are final.
How does this benefit anyone? All it does it raise the expectations among those people that they are going to win. And it rewards them for their schismatic efforts and abuse of the Eucharist. Check this tidbit out:
Lay-led services are held three times daily and once on weekends, more than $100,000 has been raised in legal funds and the brick building bustles with activity. Flowers even sit on the altar.
What exactly is happening three times daily and once on Sundays? Some abomination that’s supposed to look like the Mass? This is not going to end well.
