But why would such a thing happen. It is utterly unbelievable to think that a priest could possibly attend to his mission if his own employer were forcing him out of his quarters. One never hears of such things in other Churches. Usually things like this only occur when a priest is defrocked or has left the church. Is it possible that there is more to this than reported here?<br /><br />The so-called Fourth Moratorium of the Dar communique was, if elderly memory serves, not so much a moratorium or a mandate as it was a plea that the Church in the United States refrain from litigation over property and that those leaving the church not attempt to seize property or interfere with continued worship by those who do not depart. It is an eminently reasonable request from the primates. The failure of this request to eliminate litigation (a wasteful, dissipating activity that does no one but lawyers any good), can be traced to the fact that many departing congregations (and later, as techniques were honed farther west, dioceses) continued to try to alienate (the term used in the communique) property and to change it over to the departing factions. When that occurs, forget asking the groups from whom the property is being taken to stay their hand. The secular courts require that rights be asserted within a specified time. You don't get a pass by saying that there was a communique from a gathering in Africa that asked you not to protect your rights and those of your parishioners. Particularly when the same communique asked those leaving the church not to try to take stuff with them on their way out.NoVA Scoutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-76106640683236177822009-05-07T21:49:00.000-04:002009-05-07T21:49:00.000-04:00Look at the picture of KJS.

Originally he was told he could rent the rectory at market price for as long as he needed.
