I completely agree. We must pray very hard for Gov. Keating -- prayers, sacrifices, fasting. The Lord has chosen him for this important service, and he will be under all sorts of temporal and spiritual assault.
We really need to pray for him and to plead the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am reminded of Chesterton saying that sensationalism is not as great a danger as secrecy, for most of society's ills are more due to secrecy than to startling revelations. (Sorry for the paraphrase - I don't have time to track down the quote.)
It's started already but the man has acorns.
At the same time, Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating is promising to use his unprecedented new position with the U.S. bishops’ conference to help lay people remove bishops who might have looked the other way or transferred known priest-abusers.
Remember, it was Martin Luther who suggested early in his efforts that the lay community get involved in reforming the Church so there would not be a collapse of faith by the faithful,” Keating said, answering critics who say laity boards should not seek removal of bishops.
I like Keating's approach. This article may have been posted already.
