AMERICAN CATHOLIC COUNCIL: End with a Sunday Mass... controversy?

If a deacon participates, he reads the Gospel....Image via Wikipedia

Well the AMERICAN CATHOLIC COUNCIL ended its meeting in Detroit Sunday with a Catholic Mass.

The Archbishop of Detroit, Allen Vigneron, warned clergy that participation in this mass could lead to punishment and even defrocking…feels like we are in feudal times; back in the Dark Ages…

The Reverend Bob Wurm (78 and retired) presided over the mass Sunday which was attended by dozens of priests from the Detroit Metropolitan area…in defiance of the good archbishop?

After the mass, the spokesman for the archbishop said that significant liturgical abuses at the mass will be formally investigated by the archbishop; a “careful and thorough” review of the service. He hinted that the Vatican may also get involved.

I again want to point out that the Church was not so concerned with the molestation of thousands of innocent children and did not warn or punish any of the criminal priests engaged in the sexual molestation but have a mass without the archbishop’s blessing and all hell breaks lose…are you starting to see the true nature of Church leadership?

The priest presiding over the mass, Bob Wurm, didn’t seem to give a shit about the archbishop’s threats.

Protestors outside the mass carried signs, one read “Don’t Protest. Obey Jesus” and what the hell is that suppose to mean. The sign carrier said, these people are advocating for change and there hasn’t been any change for 2,000 years…spoken as a true moron of the Church.

As I have said, it’s somewhat heartening to see real Catholics with a brain try to push the Church in the right direction (human direction) but I am very pessimistic that anything can be accomplished.
