Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 24: Diocese of Saint Thomas
There could be worse gigs than being the bishop of St. Thomas, which covers the US Virgin Islands. Besides the weather, your boss is the archbishop of Washington (this is the only diocese that reports to DC), who is unlikely to pop in for an unannounced visit.
There do seem to be a couple of drawbacks, though. The official website is straight out of 1996, which I assume has something to do with Internet connectivity in the Caribbean. The other is that the bishop seems to celebrate a lot of masses in random spaces like rec centers and parking lots. Looks like this partially may be to issues with the cathedral, which is being renovated, but it may just be that these spaces are best when the weather is (a) nice or (b)post-hurricane.
Even with the drawbacks, the bishop looks like he's enjoying himself.
