The following was removed after being called a false statement by H Herald:

At a closing Mass, a church building is desanctified or relegated to profane use.[1]

The website www.ccdsales.org is copyrighted by Cleveland Catholic Diocese. The seller of properties is the same diocese. This article is about a church building in the same diocese. The second paragraph on the cited page is quoted verbatim as: "At the closing Mass, a parish church building is “de-sanctified,” relegating it for profane or common use." The meaning of the text is the same, a hyphen is not a difference.

"At a closing Mass" the parish is evicted, nothing happens canonically. After St. James' had their Mass of Eviction on a Saturday. They had Mass on Sunday. When St. Robert's had their Mass of Eviction, more than one weekday Mass was celebrated. Lennon had no desanctification of any kind during any day he evicted a parish. While a parish was in appeal, it was still in existence in every way under canon law. And all Cleveland diocesan parishes who submitted and maintained an accepted appeal had that appeal upheld, therefore the parish suppressions (or merger) all failed. These churches were never properly relegated for profane or common use. Lennon engaged in non-canonical practices, and this was referenced in the Vatican decrees. Throughout he engaged in a disinformation campaign, that all the press was most timid in calling him on.

And on a different point: it beggars credulity that he "requested" an investigation. Also, he was visited more than once, more than twice. These were private meetings and have not come out in interviews, or public statements, or inquiries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by H Herald (talkcontribs) 05:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Interesting. The more I read the more interesting it gets. Clearly, the closing Mass was more of a farewell mass and not a desanctification, but, everything added to Wikipedia must be verifiable.BoBoMisiu (talk) 17:41, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
