Catholic Diocese of Portland under new leadership first time in a decade

[ "In interviews with The Providence Journal last year, longtime parishioners said that they left St. Michael's after Ruggieri was installed, citing what they saw as his rigid, authoritarian leadership style, and a diminished focus on social justice. Previously, St. Michael's was known as a progressive, inclusive parish on the South Side of Providence that offered a spiritual home to people who were alienated by the conservatism of the Catholic Church. " ] I went to Saint Michael's Catholic School in South Providence in the early 60s. And I remember our 7th grade class at the ceremony consecrating that still standing statue to Saint Michael. Father Ruggieri ( no relation ) now Bishop Ruggieri was not WOKE enough for many members of the " progressive " community . As I myself favor traditional pre-Vatican II Catholicism ,, I do think that a WOKE Catholic Church is a JOKE Catholic Church.
