"Another Shame"

A review of St Mary's R C Church by Mark written on Tuesday 15th of January 2008

I would like to add to the review title "Another Shame" about them closing this church.

It is a shame that it is closing but this due to our Government,Council or whoever is responsible for the ring road that pass the church. Some years ago the church was to be knockdown for the road to go through the present site but as the decided that they didn't want to do that the Leeds diocese left the church maintain due to the understanding that it was to be knockdown. So when the Council decided not to do anything the church was left to crumble which it is. The church is also closing due to the financial demand of maintain aging buildings and a lack of Catholic church goers.

So before deciding that it is a "disgraceful abandonment of our catholic heritage" and the Leeds diocese should be ashamed of themselves, ask yourself to you go to church, if not then how can you comment, when it is yourself who are forcing this church to close.
