   Comments: Although not a member of Leeds Diocese I write as one troubled that so many parishes are being closed down due to a priest shortage in these lands. Having been a seminarian in the late 1990's I testify that we are short of priests because of radical dissent in the seminaries. This fact is borne out by the refusal to reappoint Fr. Mark Lawlor of Leeds to another parish. He is a priest who is attempting to implement the Motu Proprio - Summorum Pontificum.

    Comments: The treatment of Fr Lawler, in particular, is scandalous. He appears to be a priest who is doing the will of the Holy Father, in celebrating the Traditional Mass and 'enriching' the New Mass. Yet his bishop calls his ministry 'divisive'. Disgraceful!

    Comments: This is terrible. A priest and a pastor who cares for his people and whose people clearly have confidence in him is told under obedience to close the church because of a shortage of priests when he himself is to be 'unemployed'! Fr Lawler may not be created in the image and likeness of Bishop Roche, but so what Unless he has been accused and convicted of a canonical offence he remains a priest in good standing, as does any other priest. The personal preferences of the bishop, or the opinion of his vicar general, are of no import here. I hope Fr Lawler has a good canon lawyer and that he has sufficient grace to sustain him in this hour.

    Comments: please consider alternatives to closure....is a priest really essential to a parish....obviously the Eucharist is the centre of parish life but does it require a priest to live there ...what about the Tudor practice of parish clerks who looked afer parishes whilst priest were absent

    Comments: this petition is wrong - priests should accept with humility and suffering the will of their lawful superiors. Sounds old fashioned Well, it worked for the saints. Encouraging the faithful to disobedience is just plain wrong.

    Comments: Why did the bishop of Leeds fail to lead the faithful in prayer and fasting before taking such drastic action in closing the churches "Prayer is the door to great graces. If this door be shut, I do not see how God can bestow them" St Teresa of Jesus. May the Bishop think twice and offer Mass for all the faithful departed of the churches he is intending to close.
