The Achille's Heel of this sect is that, when the current pastor leaves for whatever reason, his replacement can come in and undo everything that makes this parish what it is.  The parishioners can object until the cows come home and, short of starving the parish financially in protest, or taking a walk, there is not a damned thing they can do about.  This has happened time and time again and, with the crop of dress-up doll priesty boyz that are being let loose from seminaries these days, the future looks rather grim for this kind of parish.
