{Last updated on September 10th.}

Notes:

  • Previous #23 has been removed. Bishop Joseph Gossman of Raleigh, NC is actually the bishop emeritus, and the new bishop, Michael Burbidge has not, to my knowledge, made a personal statement.
  • Previous #16 has also been removed, it was an erroneous duplication of current #13.
  • #26 was added September 10th, although he published his column September 6th

Fantastic! I must add the Bishop (or is he the ArchB) from Kansas City who spoke out and tried to reason with our Governor here in Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius. Told her not to present herself in Communion in his diocese. I am so proud of him. He really ticked off the libs in KC
