[history]
Lenny is dying, his father told the bishop in a late- night phone call.
When the black-robed clergyman arrived in the intensive care unit at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, his friend, Lenny Zakim, lay there with one eye open, his hands wrapped around a string of beads blessed by the Dalai Lama. Bishop William F. Murphy leaned over his friend's wasted body and kissed his cheek. For a moment, the Jewish civil rights leader seemed to revive.

My word. A Catholic bishop who's not afraid to be... a
Catholic bishop! What is the world coming to?
God bless you, Bishop Murphy.

Patent, thanks for the ping.
What a great article and what a great bishop. Of course, you know I'm a bit prejudice about the "Irish" part.

Murphy wrote the letter banning a group of mostly elderly Catholic women who supported women's ordination from meeting on church property, and wrote a weekly newspaper column saying he couldn't understand how any Catholic could vote for a candidate who supported abortion rights. And he's got all the right enemies: ex-priests, leaders of "wymyn-church", etc. It'll be interesting to see how he turns out.

Prejudice= prejudiced.
This bishop reminds me of a priest whose Mass we attended last week. After Communion, he came to the altar rail and announced, "I am ashamed and embarrassed by those who came to receive Communion wearing shorts and tank tops. Don't you have any respect for your Lord?"
Hope springs eternal.

Good for you, Homer. Welcome to the Roman Catholic Church and welcome to FreeRepublic. One of the things that you will find as a Catholic is that there is an incredible amount of talent in the Church. Some may be liberal and you may disagree and some may be more orthodox and you may agree. Either way, we have an extremely talented and well educated clergy. Keep your eyes open. You'll see it.
To: Homer_J_Simpson
Enjoy the journey. RCIA made me a different man.
