Bad blood

The Bishop is coming to the parish for a Mass next weekend.

The choir director asked if we would be willing to switch from our regular Sunday Mass so we could sing for the Saturday Mass he will be saying.

Most people said yes.

Some said no. Some gave understandable reasons - previous commitments, for example.

But a couple said no, and made it clear they were refusing because they did not want to sing for the bishop.

Such anger and bitterness. Sad.
