The Real Issue Regarding St. Stanislaus

In last weeks's Letters to the Editor Section of the St Louis Review, we find this:

The real issue
Editor:

In the 1970s, Howard Irving, the brilliant Baptist theologian and head of the theology department at Oral Roberts University, told a group of St. Louis priests and ministers: "Protestantism will never experience unity until it deals with the very principle which is endemic to Protestantism; that is, if you disagree, separate. The Catholic Church is like a wise mother. Whenever a new charism arises within it, it creates a religious order and keeps it within the Church."

The issue with St. Stanislaus Parish is neither monetary, because the money belongs to the parish, nor ethnic, because we have St. Agatha Parish for Polish-speaking Catholics. It is all about dissent. The present hasty marriage between two high-profile personalities cannot last. [emphasis added]

Bishop Robert Hermann
St. Louis

I suppose that now, since Bishop Hermann has re-affirmed the truth of the matter, he will be vilified and condemned by the those who willfully choose to ignore the crux of the matter and distort the facts to fit their own agendas - that of pride, arrogance, and disunity.
