Not just Anglicanism ...

I found the following article, Mass expulsion of Catholics from parish in California via York Forum. Here is same story from Orange Punch.

In short: faithful priest retired from a community for which he offered the Mass of all times, Bishop Brown revoked the authority (on what grounds?) and appointed a new priest to his liking who did not offer the Traditional Mass. (Does this not all sound sort of familiar??)

The end? The faithful asked to leave their church and the Mass which has been celebrated with the bishop's premission cancelled. Here is the response:

With full responsibility, authority and faculties of an Administrator of St. Mary’s by the Sea, appointed by Bishop Brown, for the sake of the common good of the Church, the parish and the diocese, with the approval of the Bishop, I (very sadly) officially invite you To leave the parish St. Mary’s by the Sea and the diocese of Orange.

For the sake of our common good? This all makes me feel rather sick. We need to pray for our brothers and sisters within the Roman Communion who uphold tradition and the tradional Mass.
