Boston archbishop reopens occupied parish

Hallelujah! It seems you can fight the Cathedral.
A brave and united group of parishioners have been living, sleeping and praying in their church, St. Albert's in Boston, for ten months since Archbishop Sean O'Malley ordered it to close. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2005/06/15/weymouth_parish_achieves_vigils_goal/?tr=y&auid=952563 St. Albert's was officially declared reopened as a parish in good standing with the Boston archdiocese. This is good news for the Holy Spirit, who must have been tired of hovering around vaguely above the steeple, waiting for the official mandate to reenter. What a historic event in relations between the hierarchy and the informed, devoted laypeople of Boston.
