Father Copp...a true dirtbag!

The Daily News Tribune has featured the sorry tale of the Little Souls Center above the fold in today's paper.

There's a stunning revelation in the story from Father Copp at St. Charles. It turns out HE'S A LYING SACK OF CRAP!!

As Father Copp has told the Tribune,

"...Contrary to rumors, Copp said, he has not decided to sell the rectory building and does not know what the future holds for it. It's still very much in transition," he said.

Copp said he sympathizes with Wolf's dilemma [ed-as well he should, since he caused it!], but he does not feel he has treated her unfairly. [ed-"You're a lying sack of crap..."]

This is really unbelieveable. The church has told the school and the parents one thing, but has completely flip-flopped before the press so the pastor can cover his own ass. It's purely an issue of money, I can assure you of that. Once again, as pointed out in the Tribune story:

Over the past 10 months, Wolf Said, she has been working with architects and contractors to get estimates for how much it would cost to renovate the St. Charles rectory into day care space. After spending $7,000 of the schools's money on such studies, Wolf came to realize that the renovations would cost more than $150,000, and she conveyed that to the Archdiocese. "They weren't shocked by that at all," she said.

Copp, however, was. Although Little Souls would have paid for renovations, the Archdiocese typically reduces a tenant's rent as a consideration for such spending. The eventual estimate of $197,000 would have reduced Wolf's rent from $6,700 a month to $5,600, forcing St. Charles to absorb the $1,100 difference

.

Once again, it appears that the thieves are in the temple. The good Father, and indeed , the entire Archdiocese of Boston would do well to read their Bibles and remember this:

A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare. (Proverbs 21:6)




I've attempted to alert the media myself, as I have recently penned a letter to Brian McGrory of the Boston Globe; he's the "everyman" columnist in the Globe, and writes about the human interest stories that the readership seems to love....This certainly qualifies. I hope he'll cover it.
