Just wondering how does The DOR offer the women Pastoral Administrators a higher salary than a priest is allowed, allow them to live in the rectory and pay for all of their meals and essentials? On top of that they now have the additional salary of the Sacramental Minister to add to their payroll. Who will Charlotte call in the middle of the night when someone at Lakeside or the nursing home needs to be annointed? Why were the priests who applied to BVM turned down in favor of a woman? We need to continue to pray for our diocese.
Anon 9:42 – This is exactly what happened at St. Anne in the city. The people spoke with a member of the personnel board (I believe Fr. Palumbos) and were basically assured that they would get a priest pastor. So much for that…
Interesting enough in Bishop Clark’s book Forward in Hope…..Charlotte Bruney addresses not being able to find a priest to annoint someone when they were in need of annointing!!
The appointing of Charlotte Bruney to Nativity BVM Church is a total dissapointment.
What have we done to deserve this?
In my opinion, it is going to take laity walking out of their churches when a lay administrator is appointed. Staying in place is just condoning something very wrong. And if the new bishop arrives to find that is what has happened, he will have easy decisions to make. We have to start now. My soul needs a priest!
Knowing that 2 priest applyed, we get CHARLOTTE BURNEY, a lay person, instead to Nativity BVM?
There is definetly something wrong with this picture!!!!!
Who were the priests that applied?
Dr. K, I will limit myself by saying that they have not been assigned to their new position yet.
