MSGR. GEORGE A. KELLEY, RIP

"Msgr. George A. Kelly, one of the founders of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars, and a longtime critic of dissent in the church, died Aug. 13 after a yearlong bout with cancer. "

Msgr. Kelly wrote The Battle for the American Church and many articles in solid magazines. I saw him speak at Nassau Community College where he started his talk with the line "Sometime, after Vatican II, the Church went to hell" with perfect timing. He was at St. John's University in Queens for many years which should cut his time in purgatory considerably. Requescat In Pace.
