Fr. Matt Kennedy reports:
Just got back from the courthouse. The judge has reserved judgment on all motions. He pressed Raymond Dague (our attorney) hard and Raymond did not get flustered or exasperated. He argued our position earnestly but respectfully.
Now we wait.
I am thankful for your prayers and intercessions on our behalf. No matter the outcome, God has granted us Christmas at Good Shepherd. Thanks be to God.
Fr. Kennedy adds this:
Some Scenes from a Binghamton Courthouse
After the bulk of the argument had passed, Jonathan Fellows, the diocesan attorney, made a point of standing to tell the judge how "trying" the entire "ordeal" has been for the diocese, made worse by the fact that Raymond filed his papers at just the last possible moment, giving him little time to prepare. "After all we've been through," he said, "I think the court needs to take what we've endured--being strung out for so long--into account."
Editor's Note: I remember this kind of whining at Fr. Bollinger's ecclesiastical trial. It didn't do anything then and I doubt that it will do anything in this case.
