From our bulging "What Took You So D@#% Long?" files:
8 July 2005

Mr. William Cotter
Post Office Box 870037
Milton Village, Massachusetts 02187-0037

Dear Mr. Cotter:

On behalf of Archbishop Seán P. O'Malley, O.F.M. Cap. I write to acknowledge receipt of your 8 June 2005 letter regarding Reverend Walter Cuenin, the pastor of Our Lady Help of Christians parish in Newton. I note in your letter and in the material that you sent specifically the point that you bring to the Archbishop's attention is Father Cuenin's bulletin announcement inviting parishioners to participate in the "Gay Pride" parade.

Please know that the Archbishop is very disturbed by the information that you, along with others, have sent to him regarding this event and the involvement of Father Cuenin. He wishes to assure you that he is in the process of addressing this whole matter.

With my prayerful best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ,

(+ Richard Lennon)

Most Reverend Richard G. Lennon
Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia
(Hey, is this the part where I get to hold my breath?)

Raison D’Etre

  • “Our entire daily lives cannot be occupied with purely religious practices; all of us have to eat, and most of us have and want to do many other activities besides. So though we cannot always be religious in this sense, we can always be Catholic, that is, the round of our daily activities can be conducted in such a way as to express and be in harmony with our Faith. And [this] can involve more than avoiding sin and exercising virtue.”
