A Milwaukee priest has been tapped to lead the first national alliance of Catholic clergy at the group’s inaugural assembly this month in Florida.[ie. We Lost Vatican II conference]continue at FaithWatch
Father David Cooper[staching!] of St. Matthias Catholic Church will lead the Association of U.S. Catholic Priests[... which represents(literally) 1.5% of the clergy in the United States.....]whose mission, he says, is to “keep alive the vision and the hope of the Second Vatican Council.”[They are now afraid to invoke "The Spirit"] The council, which ran from 1962 to 1965, was an effort to bring the church into the modern world. It ushered in a number of reforms including the celebration of [parts of] the Mass in the vernacular, a greater role for the laity [did anyone notice if someone like Paul Ryan, a member of the laity, is permitted by certain USCCB bishops and women religious to fulfill this greater role of the laity?] and an emphasis on ecumenism.
Many Catholics, including priests and sisters who entered religious life in the years after the council, believe those reforms have been eroded over the years. [I know, what ever happened to that Gregorian Chant revival? ]
Goes on to say they support the LCWR...

Hey!!! Don't diss the 'stache, dude.
Can't believe a fellow 'stacher would sell out like that.
Has his moustache ever been seen in the same room with Jerry Stiller's?
Anon: I'm always happy to see a fellow stacher.
TB: hahaha, good call!
It is sad to say, but the church will be so much better and stronger when this generation is gone.
His generation of priests have done much harm to Holy Church -- let's pray for them.
IIRC, Fr. Cooper is the ONLY Milwaukee priest to have been publicly reprimanded by Abp. Dolan.
@Dad29 maybe that's a badge of honor in his circles? Tit for tat against the hierarchy, "Oh the Bishop's conference makes Dolan President, V2 Spirit floaters make the only guy he publicly reprimanded their front-man."
