Well technically he can’t cancel a Rally if people happen to show up. They just need a good Priest to celebrate the Mass afterwards. I hope that’s what ends up happening to send a message to Cardinal Gregory the hack that he is irrelevant.
Thank you, Ezabelle.
I hope 1000 Priests defy this hireling and offer the Mass anyway
“After a consultation process that involved other dioceses”, like Covington, Chicago, San Diego…
(National stage or State rallies…. )
“The either-or fallacy, also known as false dilemma or false dichotomy..” – also known as the homo bishop traitor excuse for not wanting to support anything pro life in his/her diocese.
I also hope that a 1000 priests show up and ignore this Queen.
He’s always struck me as a Vicar of Bray organization man. His patron appears to have been Cdl. Bernardin.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to just show up and say mass in the Verizon Center. I’ve been to that rally once as a chaperone. Another time I got there late (only an hour early) and the 20,000 seat venue was already full.
Yes, it is a false dichotomy between state and national efforts. The Democrat efforts to codify Roe show we still need the National March.
Many previous travelling groups want to stay in-state now. Attendance had been diminishing at rally, because more folks were staying local, so only rally that couldn’t be local but was mostly national was DC,
Capitol One Arena veiling anti -Catholicism, pro-abortion stance under “security” concerns.
Sad decision, but not a bad decision
I am grateful I never resided in the Archdiocese of Washington (my apartment was in the Baltimore Archdiocese).
Betcha the SSPX Mass in Upper Marlboro is overflowing these days, same with St. Alphonsus in Baltimore.
I won’t lower myself to describe Wilton Gregory.
“Betcha the SSPX Mass in Upper Marlboro is overflowing these days, same with St. Alphonsus in Baltimore.”
They are.
(Though the SSPX chapel seats less than a hundred, max, so it is not too hard to overflow it!)
To his credit, Bishop Strickland protested what Cdl. Gregory did in a tweet. I criticize Strickland when I think he defends bad things. It only follows that I acknowledge when he’s right about something, as he is with this.
“The Democrat efforts to codify Roe show we still need the National March.”
Roe v. Wade never bore the burden of proof that the newly begotten innocent sovereign person in the womb was not a sovereign person in the womb. Roe v. wade is an incomplete mistrial. Dobbs v. Jackson said that abortion is not in the Constitution. (Neither is atheism) Some want to rewrite nature.
