Sadly he appears too concerned about his collection plate to say or do anything.

Who in their right mind would pick a fight with a huge Church organization two months before a national election?

No one!

Proves she’s not in her right mind!

stupid is as stupid does...

Isn’t Niederauer the one who gave the Eucharist to a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence while said “sister” was in full drag?

Just wondering.

“Niederauer the one who gave the Eucharist to a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence while said “sister” was in full drag?”

Correct

Archbishop Niederauer apologizes for giving Communion to “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” at San Francisco Parish

“He probably has a boyfriend too.”

Excuse me, this is NOT the DU!

You can pick up your anti-Catholic Bigot Badge on your way out!

Pelosi’s Archbishop doesn’t want to anger the stoic woman or the rest of her constituents.

Or, maybe, he, too, is getting free facial rework from that Filipino plastic surgeon.

[Anti-Bubba182]

It looks like even Archbishops cater to their constituencies, in his case by staying silent.

Excuse me I'm a Catholic and I hold no respect for clergy that will not stand up to politicians that promote abortion. For far too long our American Hierarchy have been silent about the issue, afraid they will split the American church. Once upon a time our archdiocese had a lefty bishop who continually supported the views of the left, he even attempted to get Mother Angelica's show removed from Warner cable. In the end he resigned when it was found out he used church funds to pay blackmail to an ex lover of his. If this San Francisco Bishop doesn't have the backbone to stand fore square for the very basic tenant of the Church that of life then he should probably resign or someone in Rome should show him the door.

i bet a lot of govt. grants to the diocesan catholic charities and hospitals is steered his way and doesn’t want to rock the boat.

Well put mimaw! I suggest that all us Catholics take a print out of this post to our pasters and ask them to contact the Bishop to express our how we, The Church, feel about this. I for one will be placing a copy in the offering.

This article is not really true. The following explains that he did republish the USCCB press release and is scheduled to "publish his response to Pelosi in a Friday column for the archdiocesan weekly, Catholic San Francisco.":

In addition to republishing the USCCB statement, I understand that Niederauer is also publishing a statement in the upcoming issue of the archdiocesan newspaper, due for printing this Saturday.

I'm going to wait and see what he has to say prior to rendering any personal judgment on him...

[Cicero]

Niederauer was a bad appointment, I’m afraid. For the most part, newly appointed bishops have been big improvements over their predecessors, but he seems to have been a sorry exception.

[kellynla]

Well, I don’t know that much about the man.
I do think Niederauer got “ambushed” by the “nuns”...
he was “new on the job” and was obviously surprised by their appearance in that ridiculous outfit when they came up to receive Holy Communion...so I’ll give Niederauer the benefit of the doubt...

but NOW, Niederauer MUST “step up to the plate” and unequivocally repudiate Pelosi’s remarks about the Catholic Church & the unborn!
