American Catholics Confront Bishop
Bishop Edward Slattery of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma got an earful from English-speaking parishioners at Sts Peter and Paul Church at a June 29 potluck dinner. This was reported in the July 23 Eastern Oklahoma Catholic, in an article titled, "Anglo Parishioners Vent Frustrations to Bishop."
When Slattery was there in springtime for confirmation services, almost everything was done in Spanish – and those at the dinner let the bishop know they didn't like it!! One parishioner said:
"English-speaking parishioners have tried to be welcoming to Hispanics. But many feel the newcomers have not reciprocated, and the Anglos' contributions are not valued."
The article continued:
"Bishop Slattery provoked vigorous 'No's!' (from the parishioners) when he suggested that just as Spanish-speakers need to learn English, perhaps English-speakers could try to pick up some Spanish."
Comment – This is America, why do the English-speakers need to learn Spanish?
The bishop asked if all the illegals should be sent out of the country, and one man replied, "Yes, and I'll drive a bus."
Comment – At least one Catholic still has some loyalty to the United States.
In response to this comment, the dictatorial heart of Bishop Slattery was exposed:
"When another parishioner said that people have a right to their opinions, he (Slattery) replied, 'No, they're not entitled to their opinion unless it's Truth.'"
Comment – This is REAL Catholicism – that people are "not entitled to their opinion" unless it matches whatever Rome says is "Truth." The Catholic system has always hated freedom of speech and the freedom to think for oneself.
The Roman Catholic Church – working to turn the USA into another Mexico. Are you praying daily that God protect the USA from illegal immigration and the Roman Catholic Church? If not, you need to start.
