Cleansing Fire is doing remarkably well in several categories for the Crescat’s Cannonball Awards. I would like to thank all of you who read this blog. When I started it, it was meant to be a place where I could rant and rave, and if anyone wanted to read it they would be free to do so. However, it quickly morphed into the role of “Defensor Fidei,” Defender of the Faith, for the Diocese of Rochester. In our meager one year of existence (one year come June 10) we will have accrued 100,000 hits on this site, with an average of 300+ readers each and every day. We will have evolved from one author to twelve. We will have forced action on diocesan matters. We will have been responsible for liturgical reprimands.

We are here, not for glorification, but for service. Dr. K and I, your most humble administrators, and our fleet of authors (who will soon be revealed to the world), are here to defend the Church in Rochester, to elevate noble priests and religious, and to expose the scandal of others. We do not sit in judgment, but we condemn any action, whatsoever, that threatens the sanctity of the Mass, of the Church, and of Christ Himself.

And so, I thank you. Please keep up your voting at the Crescat, but more importantly, continue reading this blog. For so many, this is the only source of solidarity they have. We have been scattered and wounded, but no more. We have each other, and that is more than anyone could ask for.
