Showing off our wonderful Bishop *PING!*

[Victoria Delsoul]

My duty as a bishop is pretty much what the Church asks me to be. Those duties are usually broken into the three categories of teaching, sanctifying, and governing. All three of those are ones I try to do and keep in mind when I review my ministry on a regular basis, whether it be in spiritual direction or a day of prayer. I think that the sanctifying category is the one that was the easiest to get accustomed to as a bishop because as a priest you’re already celebrating sacraments, and the Eucharist is the center of each day, so that wasn’t a big adjustment. But the higher profile in terms of teaching and governing would have to be the bigger challenges.

God bless him.

Valerie Schmalz: There are a lot of Catholic politicians who will say, "I disagree with the Catholic Church on abortion, gay marriage, and embryonic stem-cell research, but I’m a practicing Catholic."

How can they be a practicing Catholic if they don't follow Catholic teachings?

That whole concept is illogical and idiotic.

I like your bishop.
