Hell, it's not even the City's fault that this has come to a hit-a-brick-wall stop.
Talk to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America who at the first opportunity to do so made this self-righteous hue and cry to reclaim the parcel...and BTW who ought to be considered lucky as hell to be chosen over certain more contovesrial groups, which almost happened IIRC.
Talk to the people in charge of said Diocese's financial stability--i.e. those who who unbeknownst to all but themselves started using duly earmarked funds for this BS project to allegedly clear a yet-to-be-ascertained number and collective cost of defecits and misappropriations they incurred under their "watch".
Talk to the episcopal muck-a-mucks in the Archdiocese who are basically split down the middle as to whether the bottom-up audit of Church finances they "announced" would take place is
even happening.
I wouldn't want a humble priest in a far-flung community out in the boondocks to be ordered to read an encyclical from the pulpit regarding this mess, only to find out that his congregation was lied to by unwitting proxy.
And
that, dear colleagues, is what irks me.
It's easy for me to avoid "religious" discussions on a message board that heartily discourages it, despite the fact that I *can* have a lengthy spiritual/theological debate in the appropriate milieu.
But when I'm seeing an important piece of WTC II's final form being essentially stymied by higher-ups in my own "denomination", I feel compelled to speak on it as far as the leash placed about my neck by the Mod Squad will allow me free roam to do.
I end this post by thanking them for this opportunity to vent.
Now...How's 125G progressing?
