Diocese of Providence in Need of Reform

The Diocese of Providence and the chancery are in dire need of reform from the top. The appointments and hiring practices have been exceedingly unfair and discriminatory. 

There are too many cases of nepotism. 

Many good people I know earned Theology degrees a long time ago but they cannot get anywhere in the local diocese. They are ignored and treated like garbage while cliques are elevated and with much help from a suspended priest who was removed from ministry after credible allegations were publicized.  

One family is  treated by the diocese like they are royalty. They get whatever they want. The husband/father is principal of a school but he does not have the educational background for that position. When he was appointed, he (and his wife) had earned degrees but not in education or in theology. The former pastor favored him and let him do anything in the parish including teaching Theology without any degree or background even when other qualified laypeople were there with theology degrees but were neglected and disrespected.

Meanwhile, the young daughter of this man has a Theology degree. I was told she has a big position at the chancery and that this is the same chancery that a high level official there claimed a hiring freeze was in place in the diocese yet this girl was hired while many qualified people have been inquiring about a job in the diocese for years. Typical nepotism.

I talked with priests who are upset over this issue but there is nothing they can do to remedy the situation. 

The diocese needs reform and reforming the chancery would be a step in the right direction but that won’t happen, unfortunately, at this time because of the current roadblocks and the widespread abuse of nepotism. A new bishop is expected to be appointed in the next few months. Will he be a holy and wise bishop who will have the courage to impose reform or will he stick with the status quo as our previous bishops have done? 

Will Rhode Islanders Do the Right Thing Now?

Rhode Island has suffered significantly from economic woes, a costly, corrupt and radicalized education system, a lack of new and promising business enterprises, a wave of illegal immigrants who get better care all-around than lifelong citizens, a suspicious voter rolls system that has more voters than citizens (even the liberal Providence Journal sued the state for its lack of transparency on this scandal), and rising crime and widespread graffiti that has plagued our cities, especially Providence, ad nauseam.

But Rhode Island voters share much of the blame for their failed state because they keep voting for the same failed liberal politicians like Sen. Sheldon “Dark Money” Whitehouse but then complain about the horrible condition the state has been in for a long time. If Patricia Morgan does not defeat Whitehouse then that will be a shame because Rhode Island is dying for a fresh change from decades of failure and corruption. 

The Democrats have controlled Rhode Island for too long with nothing but horrible results. Morgan will keep her promises and not be a sell out like Whitehouse. Whitehouse has repeatedly told the debunked myth about Republicans and Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, he accepted and promoted a false accusation against then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from a constituent who later recanted and apologized but Whitehouse never apologized not even to Kavanaugh, he claims to be anti-dark money but he has well-documented ties to secret donors while he never helps to fix Rhode Island’s economic problems and poor business status. He only cares about enriching his pockets and flooding his campaigns and agendas with dark money. 

Rhode Island always lists poorly among business-friendly states and for jobs. It was once a state known as the jewelry capital of the world and where entrepreneurs thrived without big government interference but now all you see is a state that  shelters and supports illegals and pushes away or suppresses her own citizens. 

It is up to you Rhode Island. Make a change today or quit complaining about the terrible and embarrassing condition of your state because no one likes to hear someone whining about something that is their own fault.
