A reader calling herself “Mary” posted the following comment. I agree with her that action is necessary to put a stop to these heretical activities happening right in our own backyard. The diocese should not be allowing these things to take place. Please call the bishop’s office at the number listed below and voice your concern!
FROM “MARY”:
ACTION NEEDED!
Please call the office of the Bishop and respectfully ask him to stop this.

I have been informed that Bishop Zarama was unaware of this event on Saturday at St Francis and he is ‘working with the pastor, Fr. Patti’. I also learned Fr. Martin skyped a presentation at Blessed Sacrament last fall. We need to all be aware , address all situations in charity and pray for our Bishop as well as Fr. Martin.

St. Francis donated $455,602 to the BAA in 2017, second only to St. Michaels in Cary for the entire diocese. With that kind of financial power, I suspect they are able to push the boundaries of Catholicism without fear of reprisal.
