Pro-Homosexual "Reorganization" of Latin Mass Community



When they first reported it, the local media said that Holy Trinity in St. South Paul was going to absorb St. Augustine's, where the Immemorial Mass of All ages is said for a growing and increasingly influential group of people. This wasn't too big of a deal, despite the fact that the Parish of St. Augustine spent a great deal of money restoring their parish a few years ago, but it's very close to Saint Augustine's which is one of the other Conciliar parishes that hosts one of the two of the approved locations for the Immemorial Rite of the Mass in the Minneapolis St. Paul area.

Now, the idea is to move the neighboring St. Augustine's parish to a rather dangerous area in St. Paul to Blessed Sacrament Parish. It's strange that they'd be considering this, since St. Augustine's, although it is a non-renovated (i.e., looks like a Catholic Church) Parish, doesn't have the same kind of problem with finance that some of the other parishes being slated for closing. In fact, the Latin Mass Community has grown, like others of its kind, from a few dozens over a decade ago, to well over 300 regular attendees, despite the birth of a new Latin Mass Center at Sacred Heart in Robinsdale on the far North side of the Metro Area.

It's hard not to view this reorganization by homosexual friendly Archdiocesan personnel cynically, but according to the Remnant, this is just a false alarm and they are to report on the fate of St. Augustine's, in the hands of wreckovating homosexual enabling clergy. These parish reorganizations are always opportunities for artistically inclined clergy and modernist cohorts to destroy the collective memories and what remains of the spirituality of Catholics remaining in the Diocese.

Someone would do well to investigate an effective way of hamstringing them when they are, as is often the case, less than Catholic. That someone is you. Hopefully, concerned individuals would do well to encourage well-healed donors who aren't really Catholic to find shelter in other "churches" and discourage other Catholic donors from giving money to the bloated and decadent Archdiocesan bureaucracy and giving it to more worthy causes. A well-catechized Catholic should know how to do this.

Keep an eye on the Remnant for further details. As of 16:00 hrs, there is nothing coming from the Remnant and they've removed the notification that this is a false alarm.

Correction: St. Augustine's will be doing something to accommodate the Latin Mass Community. They're not going to Sacred Heart over by Lake Phalen. That was an error on our part.

What is happening at this point is unclear since the Remnant said that the announcement of St. Augustine's closing was premature and that there was good news about the "closing". None of that is forthcoming, so I guess it's hold tight.
