So there's an article over at the Times Leader about Sacred Heart of Jesus from the Diocese of Scranton and the Holy Mother of Sorrows from the schismatic Polish National Catholic Church. The two parishes in Dupont are getting together for a joint 'community Thanksgiving celebration' this Saturday night at Holy Mother of Sorrows church.
Hold yer horses.
The Polish National Church is in schism.
So now, do we just view schismatics as protestants and view this as a victory for Vatican II's bastard child Ecumenism?
Does the Scranton Diocese know about this? Do they approve of it? I'm gonna find out.
Cuz I'll bet you if the local pastor in Pittston got together with the SSPX pastor and they decided to have a joint 'community Thanksgiving celebration', the pittston pastor would have been hauled into the chancery, read the riot act, and eventually moved to a parish far, far away for his actions in the name of 'Christian unity'.
And the SSPX isn't even in schism. They just don't like polyester albs.
The PNCC just wants to speak polish and own their church property.
Let me look into this a bit. Of course, your comments are most welcome.
