It is not uncommon for a bishop to have important details kept from him. When you have Sister Femi-Nazi running the chancery and only allowing certain people to see the bishop, I can see how some bishops could become essentially clueless in some important matters. I know in our own diocese of Dallas we had a nun who brought in a sex ed program WITHOUT the bishop's knowledge and only by a miracle were we able to undermine her effort.
Bishops need to be extremely vigilant as to who is feeding them information. They need to be on top of everything. They need to listen closely and follow JPII. They need to know about every new seminarian and every priest serving in his diocese. To not be vigilant is to court disaster.
Our Pope is kicking butt, in case anyone has not caught it. It will be interesting to see how the Cardinals act when they come back home. Father Rueda set it all out in detail just as the homo's were pushing for welcoming arms in the seminaries. Let us pray that they have the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing and put Sister Femi-Nazi in her place.
