“Closing a military base is a piece of cake compared to closing a parish. Nobody gets buried in a military base.”
-The Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, cabinet secretary for social services for Archbishop Sean P. O’Malley of Boston. Hehir was quoted by The Washington Post in a story about sit-ins that have brought reprieves for parishioners who did not want their Catholic churches to close.
