This website is the initiative of Tom Crowe of Beatrix Media, LTD, who is solely responsible for its content. Its sole purpose is to share information about the proposed merger/suppression of the Diocese of Steubenville. All that is posted here is posted in fidelity to and love for the Church, and with the hope and the prayer that the bishops of America and ultimately our Holy Father, Pope Francis, will not take the dramatic, severe, and final step of suppressing our spiritual mother here in eastern and southeastern Ohio.
