I had to deal with Canon Law when I worked for SLU Hospital/Cardinal Glennon. This was many, many years ago and I was young, still a Protestant and was fascinated by the workings of the Catholic Church. Whenever we wanted to change anything, we had to not only be responsible to local, state and federal law, but we had to engage outside counsel for Canon Law.
Not working in that environment any longer, and luckily not stepping in it bad enough to have to refer to it as a convert ;-), I've forgotten the chain of command.
Well, for my own part, it would be wonderful to see the chain activated. It is truly past time for the Church Fathers to affirm in unmistakeable terms what is doctrine and what is sin. I am scandalized by SanFranNan (and I used to live within 20 miles of her district, so my discomfort goes back a ways). Let’s see action.
