St. Padre Pio

Therefore submit to God; resist the devil and he will take flight. Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you backsliders. Begin to lament, to mourn, and to weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into sorrow. Be humbled in the sight of the Lord and he will raise you on high." - St. Padre Pio

It would appear that Saint Michael's Parish in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts is en route to schism. This is not "resisting the devil." This is giving him free reign.

This is actually James 4.7-10.
