It is Friday evening as i type. We have few public observed holidays. Memorial/Decoration is one of them. It is a three day weekend, for some it is stretched for the entire week. Now, often news happens [it always happens], or announced because people are on vacation and not paying attention. I think in Cleveland, it is the first of the rib fests. No holiday, but treated as such by the local television news. They love 'feel good' stories that have people come and spend money. Here is 30 seconds about veterans' graves, oorah, hooyah, hooah. Now, watch me eat some burned pork flesh.Rumours are beginning to swirl that Richard Lennon may be on his way out of Cleveland. A national Catholic paper has written a longish story describing priests writing Rome for this bishop's removal.

“Cardinal Piacenza, there is no joy in Cleveland. Ministry has become a burden for so many of us. We live in fear of retaliation if we are vocal. Desperation has pushed me to a point beyond fear. Please help,”
Now, we will see if other newspapers pick up the story. Now, we will see if other Cleveland Catholics become less timid.
