ST. HEDWIG'S CLOSING - FOLLOW-UP

I looked at the news reports at the local TV stations on the the matter of the closing of St. Hedwig's. Of course only the bare details are available. There's no mention of the internal 'razzmatazz' that Bishop Blair (and probably) Fr. Billian pulled to contrive the closure the church building.

I sent an email to Dave Yonke about this - no response. I think he has come to believe I am just a crank or a buffoon to be ignored. (Now as for the Diocese - they have to keep an eye on all quarters, so I am sure Sally peeks in now and again).

I talked to one of my neighbors - a scuttlebutt source - and the word on the street is that plenty of the members of the St. Hedwig's are hopping mad about this and intend to fight.

They can hop all they want. Yeah, great-great grandpa might have lovingly laid the bricks so long ago when the building was being erected, but when completed the people themselves handed the building over, in perpetuity, to whomever the bishop is, in trust. He has the right to do whatever he wishes with it - unless challenged. If challenged - good luck folks as he'll bring in the Shoo-Loop lawyers (paying them from the big $$$ that are put in collection baskets) and drill any opponent a new one.
