Liberal 'tolerance': Orange County California diocese cancels Indult Mass

Steven Greenhut writes, in "Liberal 'tolerance' at Diocese of Orange" (Orange Punch, March 3, 2006):

In announcing his 10 theses to deal with the dioceses' horrible handling of the child-rape crisis, Bishop Tod Brown pledged, in thesis 4, to "work collaboratively with all members of the diocese."

Soon afterward the diocese -- ever tolerant of liberal ideas on church teaching -- cracked down on the one thing the bishop cannot tolerate: traditional Catholicism. He shut down the Tridentine Mass at St. Mary's by the Sea in Huntington Beach, and has been unrelenting in his attempt to impose liberal orthodoxy on that conservative parish. (Read more here.)
