None that I've heard.
Yes, Lastiri has not shown up. Bishop Steinbock has a conflict of interest as the perponderance of facts makes it appear he has been protecting Lastiri. Is Steinbock gay and does Lastiri have something to compromise the Bishop? The vatican should investigate this and Mahony will not do it and could be culpable as well.
Amen. The Roger Mahonys of the hierarchy are Democratic activists and dilettantes, not guardians of the ancient faith.
And to this:
It denounced the "small and narrow" group of Catholic laity opposing him and noted that many bishops support Kerry
"Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is
the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction."
Have you heard the Bishop comment on the no-show? And just think, he was known as the second most conservative bsihop in California (pre-Vigneron).
Hi. Which Catholic fantasy land do you live in?
I do not doubt for a second that there are a very few - a tiny minoritiy of US bishops - who have made some tiny baby steps of positive change. But the homosexuals and mental defectives are firmly in control of the infrastructure of the regular Conciliar Church in this land.
In the Arch of NY - which has a much mistaken reputation as a "conservative" diocese...ROFL.......lunatics are still being ordained, right now. The faculty of the seminary is NOT sound - despite more faculty shuffling in the last 20 years then I can keep track of! It poses a conservative face, but lacks any real substance.
Else how can you explain the weird, liberal, and frankly freaky ones who join the Fransicans Friars of the Renewal? They comprise half of the seminary students. And they are no good. Neither are many of the diocesan clegy ordained from there.
Let us not fool ourselves with appearances. Just because a young priest wears a biretta, or a lace trimmed surpice, or is garbed in a cassock is only window dressing. Does he actually know Catholic philosphy and theology? Or does he bop to the rythym of modernistic Teletubbie/Barney liturgical music as if there is nothing wrong with it?
I bring up the music for good reason. Nobody reads the lyrics, which brim with heresy and apostacy. And if these young priests like them - beware! They are not all that they are cracked up to be!
I have one question for the US Bishops. I am of the opinion that it really does not matter who wins the election, in that neither major candidate will do anything to change the internal or deomestic policies of this nation - much less on abortion.
So here is my question: regardless who wins, will your diocesan Bishop call for public and private prayer, devotion, recitation of the rosary........for the conversion of the hearts of the President and members of Congress? For the salvation of their immortal souls? For a change of heart, and action on their parts to end abortion?
Frankly, I know what the answer will be. A resounding silence.
And the chalice, already filling to the brim and overflowing with the blood of those innocent babies will impell God to no longer restrain his wrath against the society of nations - and this disobedient land in particular.
We will reap what we sow.
BTTT, great article!

Psssst....nobody's paying any attention to you.
Thanks for the links -- I had been pinged to the Windsurfer one and meant to read it, but got distracted and forgot. I'm glad I didn't miss it!
"So, I guess you'll be voting for Kerry?"
No, in actuality, I shall vote for Mickey Mouse. You see, he is the ideal political candidate. Everybody likes him, and so they do not care that someone else obviously pulls his strings and (literally) puts words in his mouth.
And I would write in Goofy as the Vice Presidential candidate. He is dumb, but honest.
I actually believe you.
