Thank You, Father Brian Sistare!

Father Brian Sistare, pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Woonsocket RI has taken stances for the integrity of true marriage.  He has served notice upon the RI state senators who voted for legalization of gay-marriage-make-believe that he will call them out by name (make sure you read Father's actual letter in this link).

Now comes word that Father has denied Holy Communion to two men who are living together in homosexual sin.  Of course gay activists are having snit fits, much like they did when Father Marcel Guarnizo denied Holy Communion to a practicing lesbian at St John Neumann Church in Gaithersburg MD during Lent 2012.  Let us pray that the clergy of Rhode Island join Father Sistare in boldly proclaiming the entirety of God's truth.

Good for Bishop Tobin of Rhode Island!!

Finally there's a bishop who's not afraid to take a dissident Catholic to the woodshed simply because that Catholic bears the Kennedy name. Most of you are aware that Patrick Kennedy seems to be charging along his recently-deceased father's chequered footsteps. I did post a bit about that not too long ago.

I'll redirect you to Jill Stanek's blog, where she summarizes the situation nicely. Bishop Tobin has released a public letter to Kennedy in the online version of his diocesan newsletter. I urge you to read it to see how a real bishop talks.

Perhaps his willy-nilly brothers will see his example and rediscover their own faith and backbones. Who knows? We might even see Canon 915 being obeyed. We might once again see some vitality in the Church restored. Thank you, Bishop Tobin!
