O'Malley to reopen 2 occupied churches
(I can't take credit for this story - sniffa wanted to make sure you all saw this).

Archbishop Sean P. O'Malley, confronted by unexpectedly strong resistance to his effort to close scores of Catholic parishes, agreed yesterday to fully reopen a closed parish in Weymouth and to partially reopen a closed parish in Sudbury.

The two parishes are among seven that have been occupied for months in round-the-clock vigils maintained by Catholics seeking to persuade O'Malley to reverse the most controversial of the 83 parish closing decisions he announced last summer. But O'Malley said yesterday that even after reconsideration, he is convinced that the five other occupied churches, in Brookline, East Boston, Everett, Scituate, and Wellesley, should remain closed.
