Yes, yes, we're an Easter People: I see the candle. But I can't help thinking the Diocese of Sankt Poelten still needs some bolts tightened.

    Now, wait a minute! I thought the Pope (JP II) gave the boot to Krenz and installed an Opus Dei priest in Sankt Poelten. I've got to recheck my facts. This can't be right.

    I almost dread reading about the Church any longer. The inmates are running the asylum.

    It's a pity the website is in German. How can we get an English translation?

    This priest needs counseling & his bishop should consider removing him from parish ministry of any kind. "Where'sthemoneyroger" -- I hope that the Vatican gets a copy of that "halloween" Mass in Orange County. It was blasphemous & sacreligous (with one person in a devil costume giving Holy Communion), a grave offense against the Holy Eucharist. The priest & Bp. Brown should be disciiplined (I also hope that Cdl. Levada does not run interference for his classmate, Bp. Tod "with one d" Brown).
