If one wants to look at the sunny side,the B/bishops by a vote of 183 to 6,voted to allow the Bishops to follow Rome rather than the "imposters",who have,to this point,forced the entire group of B/bishops to follow them.

I believe you've got the vote backwards. The bishops voted 183-6 in favor of ignoring canon law and Rome in order that they could continue to practice their own, individual (and often twisted) logic to justify giving the likes of Kerry Holy Communion.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, in a 183-6 vote during a closed meeting in the Denver suburb of Englewood, Colorado, said each decision about denying communion to some Catholics in public life should rest with the individual bishop "in accord with established canonical and pastoral principles." The statement also said bishops can legitimately make different judgments on the "most prudent" course of action.

Am I missing something here? They say, “according to established canonical principle." Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law reads: “. . .those who (like Senator Kerry and many others in Congress) obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

So, it is apparent the bishops are clueless concerning canon law, or they are talking out of the sides of their mouths - the masters of double speak.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from the bishops latest proclamation is that if you are a sinner and want to receive Holy Communion and not feel guilty, even if you have a mortal sin on your soul and don’t want to go to confession, your odds are 183 to 6 that you will be in a diocese where the bishop doesn’t care. And if it ever leaks out, who the 6 good shepherds are, who follow the will of God and you abhor Godly bishops, you can always receive Communion in the next diocese. This is what the Catholic Pro-abortion politicians will be doing.

Not too far off topic: I just heard on the Howie Carr show that the Boston Herald is working on a story about that heresy charge Marc Baliestrieri (a canon lawyer based in CA) filed against Kerry.

In the Eccliastical Court of the Archdiocese of Boston: Denunciation of U.S. Senator John F. Kerry for Heresy (Haeresis Criminatio); Criminal Complaint for Reparation of Harm (Libellis Litis ad Damna Reparandum).

I haven't heard yet whether O'Malley will act; if he doesn't, I gather Balestrieri has the option of appealing to Rome.

Sorry,you are missing the whole point. You all rag on about what went wrong,but when we try to explain it,you folks would rather just keep raging. People have been telling you that the amchurch bishops are disobedient,they lie,they twist,thsy spin. Nothing gets by them from the Pope or the magisterium in union with the Pope that they don't delay,postpone,send to committee or use some other wile to not be in union.The deck was stacked with Paul VI and it takes time to unravel it.

The Bishops have started to wrest control over the infiltrated,imposter bishops appointed in the 70's. Maybe you have not had the experience of working for dishonest people or maybe you have not been able to pay attentiion to what has been going on over the last 40 years but whaatever the reason you have not probed far enough so you rage against the wind. I am here to tell you if we don't start working together,everyone is going to down separately. Christiianity and western civilization right with it.
