Good for Laurie Goodstein! Fact of the matter is that Tim Dolan has had the "persecution" mantra for quite some time. At Kenrick Seminary in St. Louis it was one of his famous diatribes that the world had it out for the Catholic Church. Fact of the matter is that Roman Catholic Church has brought the present focus on its sins all by itself. Tim Dolan could use a good dose of public admission on the "culture of silence."

It was rather interesting for me to read this post. Thanx for it. I like such themes and everything connected to them. I definitely want to read more on this site soon. By the way, pretty good design this blog has, but don’t you think it should be changed every few months?

Protesters claim Bishop fired them unfairly

Officials with the diocese gave this statement Wednedsay:

The Catholic Diocese of Venice in Florida Has been and continues to be open and willing to communicate with all the faithful and groups of good will. With respect to the organization know as "Call to Action," the Holy See has stated, "the activities of Call to Action in course of these years are on contrast with the Catholic faith due to views and positions held which are unacceptable from a doctrinal and disciplinary standpoint."

Given this, it is not deemed opportune to communicate with the said group.

As regards personnel issues raised by "Call to Action" group, any discussion of such matters requires utmost consideration with regards to privacy. It is important to note that decisions made by parishes and Diocesan entities employ the principle of subsidiarity, that is to say, that are decisions made at the lowest level. In the context of good stewardship it has been necessary to make budgetary cuts, which have resultant personnel implications. It is always saddening when individuals lose their employment.

In examining the issue of employment, every parish and Diocesan entity has a responsibility to act as good stewards, exercising fiscal prudence, especially during these challenging economic times. The faithful of the Diocese have been very generous in support of their parishes and the Diocese.
