[quote=Anonymous]Eh, not really PP. That sort of hardline approach is what's driving folks away. They got married in a small, private ceremony bc they didn't have money and werent attending church anywhere regularly (like most of did, right?). Once they had their first kid, they joined the parish and had no problem getting their first baptized. They dealt with the parish secretary to set it up, attended the class, and the deacon did the ceremony. Several years later, they call up to arrange for the baptism of their second child....shouldn't have been an issue since they had been contributing parishioners for four years. Unfortunately, Father Bully answered the phone and gave my sister all kinds of grief. He didn't want her husband to take the baptism class (which he had already taken THERE several years prior). Rather, he said he wouldn't perform the ceremony unless the dad converted (or at least began taking classes towards converting). And then he said they had an irregular marriage and that the second step would be for them to be married in the church. My sister got off the phone in tears and called my mom (hardcore catholic....catholic schools kindergarten thru college and masters) who said my sister must have misunderstood. So my mom called the parish office and sadly Father Bully answered the phone and picked a fight with my mom (who is essentially June Cleaver but milder). That's when I got involved. This guy is a first class jerk, and everyone knows it. Like I said, when I called the archdiocese the first time to complain, I didnt mention the priest or parish...but the woman I spoke with knew...she asked if it was Father Bully at Parish X....then she said they get lots of calls about his interpretation of Catholicism.
