Pastor of MHR parish just not getting the point
Honestly, reactions to most events "run a gamut". But which position is correct? Are frustrated parishioners who are trying to get the word out about the liturgical abuse and the abuse of the sacraments going on at their parish and diocese "more of an intrusion" than "costumed men" (this non-descriptive phrase is really a euphemism for "transvestites dressed to mock nuns")?Pastor: Reaction to archbishop giving Communion to 'nuns' overblown
Reaction to San Francisco Archbishop George H. Niederauer giving Communion to two men in mock nuns' garb during an Oct. 7 Mass has been overblown, said the pastor of the church where the Mass was celebrated. "It is most unfortunate this incident has clouded the fact the archbishop came to meet with his people and celebrate a beautiful and reverent Mass together -- and that is what really happened," said Father Stephen Meriwether, pastor of Most Holy Redeemer Parish. "This incident has been blown way out of proportion," he told Catholic San Francisco, the archdiocesan newspaper. Reaction has run the gamut from some who insist the "sisters" had set out to embarrass the church and the archbishop to others who felt the unannounced visitors who videotaped the Mass were more of an intrusion than the costumed men.
Gee, I dunno, opinion on that question "has run a gamut."
This also just re-emphasizes my point that Pastor Meriwether does. not. get. it.
