Bishop Closes Parishes, Saves Planet Instead

Salford Bishop John Arnold launched a radical restructuring plan to close 75 of his 150 churches to save money.

At the same time, Arnold appointed last November Emma Gardner as “Head of Environment” to oversee a diocesan environmental centre.

Her last position as head of environmental sustainability at Manchester University was advertised as up to £62,727 ($87,401). DiClara.co.uk (March 19) has learned that she is being paid by the diocese “well in excess of double that.”

Good thing he closed the parish. The people are not even receiving valid sacraments or Catholic teaching. This man is an invalidly consecrated bishop who is faithless. I would not be surprised if he is a communist and/or sodomite.

So he's closing half the parishes in his diocese so he can staff an "environmental centre" and with lavish salaries, no less. Stay classy, UK.

Can't teach the Faith. Can't pay the bills. Can't keep the churches open.
The solution is so obvious. If only our prelates could believe again.

Enemy of God and our church. Good cartoon.

Why are so many frauds appointed bishops?
