He always admired you as evidenced by the following: "Not bad for a Navy guy". You are and always have been a priestly priest and am sure you will continue to do God's work in a special way.

It would seem to me that the reorganization that is to begin and develop further over time would be best supported if pastors remained in their current parishes (where they are beloved and needed and where they can and would continue to contribute and make a difference), particularly those who have been there long-term and have developed strong bonds and relationships with their parishioners. I know we are in the Year of Faith and I am trying to remain so, I just don't understand why it is necessary to cause undue stress, chaos and disruption when what the Church will need most this year and going forward is strong leadership, support and a committed parish. <br /><br />I will try to accept what is and go forward in Faith, but I'm not sure I will ever agree with the decision to move Fr. Barnes out of the Beverly parishes. It is neither good for his parishioners nor the health of the Church, and risks more than it secures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123808496292529808.post-72901882338307622512013-02-23T20:36:27.047-05:002013-02-23T20:36:27.047-05:00Thinking and praying for you in Singapore David.
