Here's some more info on Good Shepherd "Parish from Hell" Catholic Church. It is in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, WI. Last week this diocese filed for Chapter 11 in an attempt to remedy their financial situation brought on (in large part) by their settlement payments to victims of sex abuse by clergy - Milwaukee clergy, to be precise. Now hold that thought while we shift focus back to our "parish from hell".
The video from yesterday intimated that there were seventy (70) "ministries". From their parish website, we see their list of "human concerns ministries". Please notice the "Gay and Straight in Christ" thing. They want to "affirm" the gays. Nowhere do we see that they want to help them leave their perverted and sinful lifestyles. The latter would be true ministry. Instead what is happening is that this so-called ministry is accelerating the homosexual Catholics' descent into hell by lulling them into false comfort. On another note, I fail to detect a pro-life group here.
Minor point! Only ordained engage in ministry. The service proffered by a lay person is properly called an "apostolate". Maybe that point is not so minor, as the obfuscation of language may be a deliberated part of blurring the lines between lay and clergy.
Now let's weave some points together. This archdiocese is paying through the nose because of their out-of-control gay clergy. Yes, gay! Over 90% of the victims of Catholic clergy sex abuse are post-pubescent boys. That means their predators were gay - there ain't no getting around that with politically correct spin. Is it not reasonable to surmise that these gay priests were emboldened, at least in part, by the so-called "gay ministries" within the parishes, such as that in our Parish from Hell? The message being communicated is "gay is okay!" so why wouldn't they believe it just hunky-dorry to "affirm their gay-ness" with an attractive young fellow? The archdiocese greased the skids to their own financial ruin with their gay-acceptance - and they continue to grease the skids to their eternal doom if they don't repent and change course pronto.
Now I post below an open letter to Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki, prelate of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. It is below the jump break.

Obama's Intrusion Into Wisconsin Matters - Par For The Course With Him
Some are shocked - just shocked! - that the Messiah Most Miserable is slamming Wisconsin governor Scott Walker as the latter stands up to union thugs. While I certainly believe Obama's actions to be despicable, I am not surprised in the least. I thank Breitbart TV for jogging my memory, but Obama, during his presidential campaign (which he never really quit) is simply keeping a promise to his union backers - to "paint the nation purple with SEIU". Listen to it yourselves. Click here if you can't see embedded video.
USA Today quoted Obama as saying, “Some of what I’ve heard coming out of Wisconsin where you’re just making it harder for public employees to collectively bargain generally; seems like more of an assault more on unions. And I think it’s very important for us to understand that public employees, they are our neighbors, they are our friends.” What the Messiah Most Miserable declines to mention is that these "public employees" draw their salaries and benefits directly from the taxpaying citizens, who themselves are overburdened in these difficult times. These taxpayers simply have nothing more to give without impoverishing themselves and their own families. However, the union hacks don't seem to care. Are not those taxpayers our friends and neighbors, too?
My colleague at Les Femmes commented on this debacle. In so doing, she links to an article written by a mother who had to deal with striking teachers. Please read it here, and as you do so, please pay special note to the last paragraph. These "angry taxpayers" are angry because these union workers are cavalierly asking the citizens to bear yet another crushing load on their already-overburdened backs. They simply cannot meet unreasonable demands.
I now focus on another, more insidious aspect to all this, and it hearkens back to the video of Obama pandering to union hacks and "community organizers". Currently, Wisconsin educators are compelled to belong to the Wisconsin Education Association Council. There are negotiations underway. According to this Washington Times article, union leaders are focused not so much on pensions and health care for its members, but ensuring that bargaining and forced union dues are kept as they are. They are completely dismissive of the rights of those teachers who choose not to belong to the WEAC and pay its dues - a portion of which are earmarked for Democrat candidates for office. That is what Obama means by "painting the nation purple"! He wants simply to ensure that money continues to flow into Democrat coffers and to please his money sources.
To end this post on a pathetic note, read the pathetic statement put out by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on February 16th. The timing of this thing makes plain that this is a reaction to the debacle of teachers striking and Democrat legislators fleeing like cochroaches. It yammers on and on about the rights of workers to unionize, but absolutely nothing about the rights of workers who choose not to sell their souls and pay exhorbitant funds to causes abhorrent to them. In times past, I would have said that a document such as this betrays gross naivte about economic realities. However, I've come to learn that they aren't necessarily lovable doofs. I see here a not-too-subtle attempt to chide the Wisconsin governor. Just how much governmental money does that archdiocese receive????
