Wow, I'm in northwest PA, just catching it on TV, WTAE. I'm stunned. Up here, we understood him to be less liberal than our own bishop, but I'm not as familiar with him as I thought, after reading some of the posts on this thread. We were struck, when spending time in the Burgh, by the 'odd' Masses we attended in the area. Perhaps it was the Churches we chose. Odd in this way - some 'old fashioned' traditions, some 'new' things, both existing happily unlike my area where there was friction. Organ music and traditional songs mixed with hands in the Orans position for the Our Father by some. Also, we were delighted and a little surprised by how warmly we were treated, as visitors, by other Church members.
That sounds a lot like the Diocese of Charlotte :-).
