Bishop Joseph Martino prays at the St. Peter's Cathedral, Oct. 1, 2003 in Scranton, Pa. The Roman Catholic cathedral is the potential site of a showdown over the annual St. Patrick's parade in this economically struggling former coal town: Martino said he'd cancel the traditional pre-parade Mass on Saturday March 14, 2009 if organizers honored an abortion-rights supporter -- a warning seen by some to refer to native son Vice President Joe Biden.

Good for him.
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
It has been this “let’s just all get along” BS that the left has used to get us to this point.

My goodness, a Bishop who will actually stand up for Catholic teaching. How do we get a Bishop like that? I don’t blame him for refusing MSM interviews. They’ll just use the occasion to print what they want anyway. As for the teacher’s union guy, he’s par for the course.

Michael Milz, president of the local teachers' union for parochial schools, accuses Martino of ignoring Catholic social teaching on workers' rights. The bishop has refused to recognize the union.A parochial schools teachers union? What is that all about? Good for the bishop in refusing to recognize them!

"I mean no disrespect to the bishop — he has his job to do, and I will always have my opinion," McNulty said. "(But) I thought that we, as Catholics, should open our arms and open our churches and be there for people rather than shutting doors." I'm sure the church confessional will be open anytime.

Great bishop! Doing what the first apostles Peter and Paul would do! We badly need a Bishop Martino in Los Angeles and Sacramento
