A brief breakdown of the situation in my parish: The diocese wants to take over the church (which is self-sufficient), fire all of the church workers/custodians, ask them if they will volunteer, replace the pastor and other priests with monks, and take all of the money from the annual feast, which is a huge event in my city. The Catholics in my city are furious, and many simply will flee.
Why the radical changes? It requires a closer look into the bishop of the diocese and his actions:
The bishop spends a huge amount of money from the diocese lobbying for, what else, HEALTH CARE REFORM!

Yup, government-run national universal healthcare. Of course, they don't support taxpayer-funded abortions, which is a given. But, as these liberal elitist deathoceses continue to lobby for health care, while destroying the small churches in their quest for greed and power, expect the Catholic Church to continue its downslide in membership.

For decades, the Catholic bishops of the United States have been and continue to be
consistent advocates for comprehensive health care reform that leads to health care for
all, including the weakest and most vulnerable. The bishops want to support health care
reform. We have in the past and we always must insist that health care reform excludes
abortion coverage or any other provisions that threaten the sanctity of life.
As Congress begins debate on health care reform the Catholic bishops of the United
States offer the following criteria for fair and just health care reform. Health care reform
needs to reflect basic ethical principles. We offer these as a guide:
• a truly universal health policy with respect for human life and dignity;
• access for all with a special concern for the poor and inclusion of legal
immigrants;
• pursuing the common good and preserving pluralism including freedom of
conscience and variety of options; and
• restraining costs and applying them equitably across the spectrum of
payers.
