[old and tired]

My disgust has already turned to anger. I can picture the liberals now. "This is a signal from the Holy Father that he likes the way the bishops are handling 'the crisis.' It also signals that the pope agreed with the way McCarrick handled the pro-abortion politicians." And I think there's no way I could disagree with these statements.

Gregory was cc'd in on Ratzinger's letter to McCarrick and he sat silently while McCarrick misrepresented it to the entire assembly of bishops. I will need to pray to prevent my anger from turning to bitterness.

"Gregory was cc'd in on Ratzinger's letter to McCarrick and he sat silently while McCarrick misrepresented it to the entire assembly of bishops."

Maybe the archbishop job is the payoff for his silence. I Imagine McCarrick had influence in picking the new archbishop. He is the closest cardinal to Atlanta.

I agree with you totally.

I am also going to write a letter to the Holy Father and cc Hoyos,Ratzinger,Arrinze and Re,expressing my profound sadness with his choice of a man,who at the very best is a "weak sister".

I know the effects of a letter from a "nobody" from Phoenix,that will be read by some faceless clerks in the Vatican,will be miniscule,if not less. Nonetheless,I will know that I transmitted a small particle of truth,addressed to those who Jesus Christ charged with keeping and spreading His Truth.

And most important I will just keep praying.
