Shes the third one according to the article.
Would you rather have a “lay council” run the parish?
We have a priest shortage in L.A. due to you know who.

I understand.

Here’s how I understand it:

According to canon law (#519), it is to the pastor that pastoral care of a parish is entrusted. Yes, there is provision made for the appointment of others in the case of a dearth of priests (#517, art. 2) to participate in the pastoral care of a parish, but a priest is still to be endowed with the powers and faculties of a pastor.

Here’s what the Bishop said to her and I qoute: "“The salvation of the souls of all these people is in your hands.” There’s definately something wrong here. And Sister’s “the Boss”.
