Freeped :)

[pray4liberty]

Was he the Bishop who refused Communion to Joe Biden? Just asking...is this payback?

[pray4liberty]

And he frequently castigated public officials, parishioners, Catholic universities and even his fellow bishops for what he saw as their failure to adequately uphold church teaching on abortion and contraception.

No wonder the laity wants him gone. Just like the Pharisees wanted Jesus gone. They both preached the truth.

Judging from calls to a local talk radio show, the reason for his unpopularity within the Diocese seems to be due to the fact that he closed down many churches and schools for financial reasons. Not saying it wasn’t needed though. (I am not in that Diocese)

[fatima]

Not sure.He did threaten Casey with a few public letters.He was Casey’s Bishop.Now our Cardinal will be in charge until they get a replacement.

[dynachrome]

Thanks again to Pray4liberty. The bishop looks like one of the good guys!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

What is your reaction to Bishop Joseph Martino’s expected resignation?

I will miss his leadership 33% (521)
I’m happy to see him go 58% (933)
I don’t care 9% (149)

Total number of votes: 1,603

[Antoninus]

This is very disturbing. I’ll wait to see where this goes, but Martino is not “go-along-to-get-along” like Rigali is. If it turns out that he was forced out for his tough stances in defense of Church doctrine, I’m going to be EXTREMELY angry.

Freeped:

I will miss his leadership 33 % (543)
I’m happy to see him go 58 % (953)
I don’t care 9 % (151)

Total number of votes: 1647

Could use a whooooooooole lot more freepin.

[fabrizio]

Ok, we've gained yet another point. It is now up to 34% from the initial 29% of when I first launched the freeping:

I will miss his leadership 34 % (571)

I'm happy to see him go 57 % (972)

I don't care 9 % (152)

Total number of votes: 1695

Come on guys! Pass the word! We're growing but too slowly! Unleash the freeping power before the demonrats close the poll and claim victory! It would be the first time to my knowledge a freepin' fails!

[fabrizio]

So, anybody going to help with this poll?!?!

[Palladin]

Yea!

Tomorrow we’ll know why the Bishop is resigning...maybe.
