I have put off the moment of reading this article, knowing that it would make sad reading. And so it has.
Very similar consequences occurred here in the UK, where a number of RC Parishes were 'taken over' by incoming Ordinariate priests. 
Being asked to step back 400 years, and being told that we'd been doing it all wrong, did not go down well. In my own (ex)parish, I'd say that the great majority of people either left to find another parish, or in a few cases that the trauma destroyed their faith entirely. So sad. 
Meanwhile, the promised influx of 'new' parishioners into the old parish (the Ordinariate's aim was 'the re-conversion of England') never happened.
Massive damage, then - and for no gain; for no purpose.
I will keep the Catholics of Waynesville in my prayers.
