The Vatican Overrules Bishop Lennon on the Closing of 13 Churches in Cleveland

We got preliminary word last night that the Vatican has overruled Bishop Lennon on the closing of 13 churches in the Diocese of Cleveland. The first churches I heard about are the historic and beautiful St. Patrick's, in the West Park neighborhood of Cleveland, and St. James, in the suburb of Lakewood.

This is astonishing good news! We'll see what other churches are involved and how this plays out. Will the bishop appeal this decision or reopen the churches? We shall see.
