Here's another question: the St Mary of the Angels
web site notes that "Bishop" Williams's first mass is August 31, roughly a week from now. But if you go to the
web site of Trinity Pro-Cathedral, Rochester, NH, the parish of which Williams has been Rector, there's not a peep. Wouldn't you expect to see the normal announcement of the reception for Bishop Williams on his last Sunday with us, August 24? The announcement that our old friend Fr Schmidlap will be celebrating with us beginning August 31? Please welcome Fr Schmidlap and his wife next Sunday? Not a peep.
What's going on? This place is not acting like a normal parish. I noted a couple of weeks ago that the parish e-mail seems to be out of order.
Things aren't adding up. Is Trinity Rochester maybe on the verge of closing and can't afford even a supply priest? Who knows? But the more I look into things, the more questions I have, and the more I wonder not just about ordinary incompetence, but about something else.
