80% of the parishioners are still attending the parish. Not one of them appears in either the article or the comments.

There is no doubt that the individuals who exited are upset. That is a fact.

The rest of the "facts" appear to reflect personal issues of individuals used to getting their way and running the show, which has now concluded.

The bishop has made it quite clear that he is not going to honor a small revolt with any succor, so it strikes me that the choices are go back to the parish, go to another parish, run a mini-parish until the old priest(s) die off and the attendants do likewise, leave the Church, or go home.

I have seen this same thing play out over and over and over again. It is a dead-end.
