Archdiocese of St Louis

"So the Archdiocese is supposed to have 450,000 Catholics a number which doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe "on paper", Catholics, but certainly not active Catholics. You only have to look at the number of people posting here and the latest posts which are extremely negative about the direction of the Archdiocese after the "All Things New". The Bishop doesn't really care about St. Louis, he was brought in as the "hatchet" man and then will retire back east to his home in Baltimore and St. Louis will be left with a "shell" of what it used to be. A weaker version of the Catholic Church. I feel bad for some of the Vicars and blame some of the others that should know better. I really feel for traditional priests, all who seem to have a target on their backs as the powers at large try to eliminate them. All while claiming "we don't have enough priests!" Truly disgraceful! I can't find where Archbishop Rozanski has spoken out against the Blasphemy they call the Olympics. I reached out to the communications director, but received no reply. Maybe I missed it. If so I apologize. Unreported and not commented on, was the fact Parish lost electrical power after this EXCEPT for the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Paris! If that isn't Divine intervention, I don't know what is? Then you have the beating of a woman boxer by a person "claiming" to be a man and this is sport? Bring back the "sport" of Christians and the lions. That wasn't fair either. History repeats itself. So in closing on the Archdiocesan website the Archbishop allows others to say "Imagine a Church that funds its Catholic schools" - while he closes them. "Imagine a Church where Eucharistic Adoration is standing room only " as he closes one of the longest running Adoration Chapels. Yes we can only "imagine" what this church will look like under your leadership. We continue to pray for you."

"My first time there , my friend brought me to mass. Absolutely beautiful stairway I'll attach pictures. Father was very nice, there's a little store downstairs and some of the older men aren't friendly but coffee and snacks are great after a little donation."

"They took away my Father's parish (St. Barnabas) as part of this recent "All Things New" campaign, which has been so damaging to the St. Louis area Catholic institutions. They have a hatred for the Latin Mass, which really makes you wonder where their loyalties truly lie. I am a wayward Catholic trying to make my way back to the faith, and the number one turn-off is the leadership in the Archdiocese and their zeal in stamping out all traditional Catholic things. We live in evil times and are lead by evil men. God help us and the Church."

"I accepted the new change. I get it not enough priest not enough money supposedly. However they closed St. Martin of tours the largest parish in the district for all things new. Sent all these paishioners to the smallest parish with the smallest parking lot with what i presume is a debt remaining from there recent upgrade. I could only imagine that St Martins has the most value because they have the largest piece of real estate. The church needs to be more Godlike and not greed like. I feel lost. I just went to 400 oclock mass at St Bernadette church i felt empty and the priest homily was more about The new St Marks and less about the transfiguration. The priest made several what i thought were pompous remarks. I will try again at 400 oclock but it is very uncomfortable because people were on top of each other.I hope this works for them because it doesnt work for me Norman A Chrstensen"

"I went through RCIA 7 years ago. I love my faith. But I see the higher ups all about money. Not what Christ would do. If my Church had been closed . A lost soul. I do disappointed in our leaders. God help us. I will not be back. You do not care about your flock .all about money. Political . Shame shame"
