Honoring Monsignors Larry Droll, James Bridges, and James Plagens of Midland for receiving papal honors.
The resolution highlights the tradition within the Roman Catholic Church of recognizing distinguished priests with the title of Monsignor. It underscores the members' commitment to their parishioners and the broader community, thus serving as a celebratory acknowledgment rather than a legislative change. Such resolutions serve to reinforce the values of service and dedication within the community and the church.
House Resolution 896 honors Monsignors Larry Droll, James Bridges, and James Plagens of Midland, Texas, for receiving papal honors on February 6, 2009. This event took place at the Cathedral Church of the Sacred Heart in San Angelo. The resolution acknowledges the achievements of these clergymen in their long-standing service to the Catholic Church and their significant contributions to their community.
While House Resolutions like HR896 typically do not generate significant debate, the recognition of clergy in the public arena may elicit a range of sentiments based on differing views of church-state relations. However, in this case, the positive recognition of the clergymen's service appears to be received uniformly, reflecting no notable points of contention within the context of the resolution.
