Sigh..If They're Not Fucking Altar Boys...

'Mosque' Pastor Bails out of Midland Beach Parish.

The Archdiocese of New York announced that the Staten Island pastor who has been negotiating the sale of a convent to a bunch of camel-humping terrorists is stepping down from his position in order to spend more time with his ailing mother.

Whenever a politician gets caught with his hands in the cookie jar, he uses the "I'm resigning to spend more time with my family" routine (or the other stand-by, "I'm entering rehab") to get the spotlight off him as quickly as possible. I don't know Father Fennessey, but I smell a rat here. He's at the center of a shitstorm -- mostly of his own creation -- and it looks as if he's heading for the hills.

The Archdiocese then announces that Father Fennessey will be replaced, as if this was all rather routine...but then does nothing to respond to the community's concerns that the "New Management" is NOT connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. In fact, it appears as if the Archdiocese is still going through with the sale.

Never let it be said that the Church doesn't know how to make a decision when principles are at stake; it can be depended upon to choose money every time.

Just another example of how when the Catholic Church isn't screwing the Altar Boys, it's apparently very happy to give the Big Purple Shaft to everyone else in the Parish. For the right price. The community has succeeded in making this issue one which makes the Church very uncomfortable, and has sent them into (the predictable) Public Relations mode much sooner than anyone would have thought. Now, let's see if continued community pressure succeeds in forcing the sale to be terminated altogether.
