[Apologetics] Syracuse Catholics?

[Marty Rothwell]

Hi all,

 

When I said "seen" I should have said "met".  My cousin says he hasn't met
any serious Catholics who are 'orthodox'.  My cousin thinks that Catholics
believe you go to heaven by your works, etc.  I was trying to find a good
Catholic organization up in Syracuse for him to go to, but Diane's article
shows that won't be easy.

 

Thanks,

Marty

Marty,

I haven't heard anything myself but found the following interesting article.
For me, the title says it all.

Bishop sacks liberal column, diocesan priests fight back. (James M. Moynihan
of Syracuse, NY orders dropping of column by a priest, Richard McBrien from
Catholic Sun)

Moynihan's replacement of McBrien with a conservative writer was protested
by about 25% of the priests who wrote him a letter with their views. McBrien
learned about his suspension from readers, not from the Bishop. Later, nuns
were infuriated by the column from the new writer, George Weigel. 

Citing an "alarming morale problem among the clergy," discontented priests
in Syracuse, N.Y., complained in writing to Bishop James M. Moynihan about
his leadership after he pulled a controversial columnist from the diocesan
newspaper and substituted a more conservative one. 

Moynihan told the newspaper's new editor to drop a self-syndicated column by
Fr. Richard McBrien,

 

Like a deer that longs for running waters so my soul longs for you, O God.

Ps 42:1

  I have a cousin who lives in Syracuse and we?ve been talking about
Catholicism.  His main complaint is that he hasn?t seen any serious
Catholics in his life.   Does anyone know of a good Catholic group up in
Syracuse NY ?  Or what is the flavor of Catholicism there?  Can you tell me
anything about Bishop James M Moynihan?

 

Thanks,

 

Marty
