Someone is in BIG trouble

This is a true account and I got this info from a friend who is a member of the Opus Dei.

The Opus Dei is celebrating the feast of their founder, St. Josemaria Escriva today in at least one church in each diocese.

So they approached this very well known church in Quezon City dedicated to a well-known image of our Lady.

On the eleventh hour, a day before the Mass, the new parish priest is asking the group to pay P10,000.00 for the use of the massive church.  And he has other conditions...

The Mass for St. Josemaria today cannot be said on a regular scheduled Mass of the day.  So it may be on the dead hours of the afternoon where most of the numerary and supernumerary of Opus Dei are working.

P10,000.00?!?

On any other hour except the regular Mass hours?!?

Why not just say no to the group and get done with it?

Ooops.  I forgot.  He cannot outright say that or he'll be reported straight to Rome where the Prelature's "headquarters" are located.

Such a pity for a member of a MENDICANT ORDER to ask for money and be coyly hostile against a group who has done nothing but good things for the Church, let alone stand against the heresies of our time.  Wasn't the founder of this order the HAMMER of those heretics?

Go figure out.

UPDATE:  The last I heard is that the name of this NEW parish priest is being sent to Rome.  Guess someone has a LOT of explaining to do.
