The Vatican rarely revokes decrees made by the leaders of dioceses and archdioceses. It really does feel like a miracle and a testimony to the power of prayer: the prayers of the faithful before during and after Mass, the prayers in the garden of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Rosaries said by Izzy every Sunday where he stands on the corner facing the statue of Our Lady in the rectory garden. Ever since they heard that the future of the church was in jeopardy the people of St. Mary's carried on with their ministries and prayed fervently and constantly. The archdiocese can appeal this decision and may decide to follow another path to their desired outcome but for now this feels like a sign, a very good one.
