Perhaps some of those folks who thought they were being labeled, branded, or accused of being "anti-Catholic" similarly misunderstood.<br /><br />Hudson and for that matter, Columbia County Catholics have, for better or for worse, in recent history, opted to not engage in identity politics. And local elected Catholics, as imperfect as they have been, or are, have also failed to rally their own troops. So, my guess is that in this one instance, some people were stunned, or perhaps even shocked, that a few local Catholics actually pushed back. <br /><br />I am hopeful that under our new leadership at Saint Mary's (and yes I know, technically, it's Holy Trinity), there will be more push back on issues we care about. For me, I am especially hopeful that Father Anthony will end the current practice of allowing our beautiful church to be used as just one more Hudson venue for those looking to come away with fabulous wedding photos.<br /><br />Finally, a thank you to Carole for her VERY fair coverage of this issue.<br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904744235071178921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-22993844060913139022017-06-12T15:15:42.918-04:002017-06-12T15:15:42.918-04:00and the eternal question......what would Jesus thi...and the eternal question......what would Jesus think and or dotmdonofriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370760970951114120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-36352719840976316262017-06-12T11:59:01.152-04:002017-06-12T11:59:01.152-04:00There must be s sale on the fence in the 12534.There must be s sale on the fence in the 12534.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.com
