LET'S GET HIM OUT OF OUR DIRECTORY AND OFF OUR PAYROLL

By Tim Rohr

In HE CAN START WITH THIS, we see that "our" Msgr. David C. Quitugua occupies the position of Parochial Administrator at Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Darby, Pennsylvania. According to a post in Catholic Straight Answers:

When a parish is “vacant,” meaning that the pastor has retired, been transferred to another assignment, or is incapable of exercising his duties as a pastor, the bishop must appoint as soon as possible a parochial administrator.  In general, an administrator has the same duties and scope of authority as a pastor; however, these may be limited by the bishop.  The bishop in time may decide to appoint the administrator as the pastor.

Now, it seems rather odd, at least to me, that a priest, not incardinated in a diocese, and supposedly "on mission" - as all of these neocat presbyters are said to be, would be appointed to a position which is equivalent to a pastor. Doesn't the Archdiocese of Philadelphia have any of its own priests? 

As usual, whenever things don't add up, we must always expect neocat shenanigans, especially when it comes to sheltering and even hiding major kikocats from Guam like Quitugua. 

Another strange thing is if Quitugua is the Parochial Administrator - the pastor in everything but the name - why isn't he living at the parish so he can be available to his parishioners? Surely the parish - which has such a fine church - must have a rectory.

From the posted info, it appears Quitugua resides - like he did here in Guam - at the Redemptoris Mater Seminary, which has a different address in a different city than the parish. 


One may wonder how Quitugua ended up in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Philadelphia, like Boston (under Cardinal Sean O'Malley), is another neo-friendly diocese due to its once being headed by Archbishop Charles Chaput, which is how the RMS got established there to begin with. 

One wonders what is it with these Capuchins and the Neo's. 


Meanwhile, back in Guam, if Quitugua has risen to the level of what is functionally a pastor in another diocese, lets' get him out of our directory and off our payroll. The Catholics of Guam have already paid enough for the mess he left us.
