More from the same reader who used to attend St. Anthony's Parish.
[regarding] The schismatic DRE: Her comment to me just gives a tiny flavor of it. I watched her coldly and systematically destroy a young woman's faith during an RCIA class; then she boasted of it. A year or two later, the girl turned up in a Washington Post article about a "WomanChurch" group in the diocese. She was photographed standing at an "altar" and quoted about consecrating in this (fake) eucharist as part of a community that welcomed women's experiences. (I believe the DRE was also quoted, but she had the canniness to say something relatively bland about women needing a greater role in the church, etc., etc. And she stayed out of camera range.)Currently I go to St. Philip's; Fr. Spychala is the greatest! I still go to St. Anthony sometimes, because they have more Mass times that St. Philip does. And you're right about the African priests at St. Anthony's -- they preach from the heart. Sometimes I think JPII should turn us back into a missionary country. It might be a salutary surprise for those who think America is the Most Important Church in the World!
Rome, we have problem. Please send reinforcements!
