Comment: Well now...  I live in Western NC but thankfully not in Waynesville.  That whole mess has been quite the scandal in our neck of the woods,  with the blame falling squarely on that new priest and the bishop himself.  That new priest was trouble where he came from (another state),  and Bishop Jugis for his part has his Traddie blinders firmly in place.   He refuses to see and acknowledge the growing divide across the diocese  and the disgraceful disrespect being shown to older clergy by the young Traddie whippersnappers who are indeed full of themselves.

This article is a fair and accurate reporting of the mess we have in our diocese as a whole... with the Waynesville situation being the mess writ large and very public.  When our wonderful pastor retires in another year and a half,  I truly fear what will become of our parish.   Unlike Waynesville,  our city has a few RC parishes from which to choose,  but who wants to be uprooted from their parish over an obnoxious new  priest.
