Any idea on who would be replacing Msgr. Tinder?

GOOD! This man has no heart!

Msgr. Tinder is a wonderful person. He married us 31 years ago and baptized our three children. We took our children to where he could baptize them as it meant that much to us.

We only wish the best for him.

Too little, too late. And Tinder is lying, he didn't do squat to try and keep TC open - he's lying and he knows it. Justice is a beautiful thing.

If the "justice" you're referring to is Msgr. Tinder developing a neuromuscular disorder because in your eyes he didn't do enough to keep TC open, then that is just awful. Although it may have been a beloved school and it was shame what happened to those kids, this is a disease that will probably cause his death. This punishment does not seem to fit the "crime."

I can certainly understand that there are people still angry over the closing of Towson Catholic. But to make nasty personal remarks about someone is uncalled for and certainly not in keeping with Christian values. I don't personally know Msgr. Tinder, but I encourage you to walk a mile in his shoes before you go on a public message board and malign the man.

Nothing like kicking a sick man when he's down!! Shame on those that write such horrible comments. Ask yourself-WWJD? Surely not that!

Anyone that knows Tinder knows that he is solid administrator and solid pastoral leader. If Tinder, AND TC's BOARD OF TRUSTEES, decided to close, then it was the right move. Schools are non profit institutions. They rely on tuition to pay expenses. If anyone should be blamed it should be the parents of students who thought they could skate through 4 years of private education without paying their own tuition bills. Tinder and those involved tried to help those charity cases for years - and now those same people are upset at him? Leave the guy alone and the educated and devoted people who made the decision to close.

I am amazed as to why this news deserves the scrutiny to those outside this parish. He is not an elected official, he is not a public person. He is the spiritual leader of a parish whom loves him.

The closing of the school was strictly due to financial reasons as the parish today is trying to dig itself out of the hole this created.

This is none of your business.

Per the Gospels; Msgr Tinder is our shepherd, we are his flock. If Jesus was standing next to Msgr Tinder, would you say these things? "You are a stiff-necked people!" When's the last time you evangelized a fellow Christian? Do you know enough about your Faith to explain why you stay a practising Roman Catholic? Have you studied the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) in order to be prepared to explain and /or defend the Faith? Are you prepared to stand up and face the world, and tell whoever is listening Why you are a Catholic? Do you believe both you and Msgr Tinder are merely here on earth temporarily? And do you believe what St Paul says: The Trials we experience in this life, are nothing compared to the Glory we will have in the next?
Being a member of the Body of Christ; His holy church; His beloved creation which is offered to us for our salvation, by the greatest act of love in history; sorta makes the closing of TC pale. Think about it. When we choose to continue to hold a grudge, we have no room for the holy spirit in our hearts. We rot. We walk like a man dead.

Please go back to the first thing you were taught: "Who made us"?; And "Why did God make us?" I have been where you are; I know of what I speak. God Bless.

typical Catholics making typical comments...half of you wouldn't stand up to the ideals you hold so dear.

i left the church due to people like the majority of you. good to know my decision is continually proven to be the right one.

Amen to that last post! What a bunch of hypocrites.

It is truly sickening to me to read some of the heartless, cruel and honestly ignorant comments posted here. Anger about a situation like T.C's closing is understandable, but malicious thoughts toward anyone involved in that decision are not. There were so many influences behind the decision to close T.C. However, that is not the subject that I feel is important at this time. There is not a person out there, including myself that has not made mistakes that impact themselves and others. No one should ever feel it is "justice" when someone is punished with a sickness of any kind. I certainly hope that anyone who feels that "justice" is being stricken with a debilitating disease; never does anything wrong, ever, good luck! God is not a God that punishes. If God punished, this world would might seem to be a more fair place. Young children would not be dying of cancer and missing from their families. The elderly would not lie in beds suffering from dementia. Rapists and drug dealers would not walk the streets. I believe that God does not punish. Isn't it ironic that those of you that have known this man know of his kindness and goodness? Those of you, who do not know him personally, attack him and his religion. This is not about the closing of a school or a man's religion. This is about a man who is suffering and for him, I will continue to pray. May God bless you Monsignor Tinder and continue to give you strength.

I am a Catholic and this man has done some very hurtful things BEFORE he closed TC. No one is perfect, but he is certainly behind some acts that were certainly NOT Catholic.

if you look at tinders past parishes he did not know run those financially either. he just knew how to suck the life out every parish he was stationed out it is public record. I was a parisinor at Immaculate until he lied his butt off about saying he sent letters to all the alumni of TC three years ago but we could not find one person out of the 5000 letters he said were sent .

Tinder is the George W. Bush of pastors.

Msgr. Tinder was the pastor of St. Jane Frances in Pasadena for many years and was very much loved by the parish. He only left because he was asked to take on the much larger responsibilities of Immaculate Conception. Our parish was in great shape financially and spiritually when he left, and believe me, there were many times afterward when he was missed.

All I have to say is Karma Karma Karma.
His fault the school closed, so...... Hahaha.
