I like this one:
Umm, well I did learn this. and the truth shall make you free(Jn 8:32)Lenten Carbon Fast
It's hard to open ourselves upt to he realities of the climate crisis. Today, learn something new about climate change. (AmericaClimateChoices.org or ClimateCrisis.net)
I'm sure not as bad as St Joan, Minneapolis, but really?

I don't know who this "Kathy" is...the pastor is a good priest. I'm not even sure this has his approval. This is such garbage.
This parish was, before the present pastor, a place of dissent...it looks like it's continuing...pray for this pastor. He needs it. Big time!
And, I might add, this picture looks like it was during the "former regime"...the priest looks like the former pastor. Just a thought.
Thanks for the update Father. Maybe I could contact the pastor to make him aware of "Kathy" (but it is linked directly off of their website). I know that many of the cases with liberal parishes, the laity will badger priests into submission. A good priest can only do so much when trying to turn the tide back from decades of poor leadership. I will pray for him.
I must agree with nazareth priest. Fr. Brian Konopa is the relatively new Pastor at St. Olaf's and had a mess to clean up when he got there. He has been working for several years now, slowing showing his parish what they have been deprived of...and he is gaining souls back to the faith-including our youth. I had the opportunity to spend several days with Fr. K not long ago and he is a holy priest attempting to do his best at a place that, when he got there, would make even the most "liberal catholic" blush. I think its like the Cathedral in Milwaukee....you have to pay for what was wrecked before you can rebuild. Just my thought SK, as I know Truth is in your heart. +
Mr James, I am glad to hear the ship has been set back on course.
The picture posted is from the old church, with the old pastor. I assure you, the church has come leaps and bounds since various new priests have come. The new church, while better than the one pictured, is a bit ugly (though there are a few samples of nice sacred imagery), but the liturgy has CONSIDERABLY improved.
Excellent news, thanks for sharing.
Also, religious ed still seems a bit disorganized, but I hear the new priest will be taking steps to reform the mess it is now.
The priest pictured above, Fr. Frank Corradi, is a modernist through and through. There is a new church building (unfortunately no improvement whatsoever aesthetically or in terms of architectural theology) which this modernist priest brought about. The priest haa been gone from the parish for several years now. It's improved, but by all accounts still an extremely modern and liberal parish. I would still recommend avoiding it.
