Wish I could find the document I read a while ago regarding Jadot's plan for Holy Mother Church. According to the article, he carefully selected 'young' candidates for appointment as bishops. Both Howard Hubbard (Albany)and Matthew Clarke (Rochester) recently celebrated their Silver Anniversary (and they're only 67).

Jadot made certain they were 'progressive' thinkers. His goal was to plant as many of them as he could in the USCCB, fully expecting that because of their youth, they would eventually be elevated to cardinal. This would ensure the possibility of moving his agenda forward (ordaining women and homosexual priests, etc.). What Jadot didn't count on was the Holy Father outliving many of the bishops he had appointed through Paul VI. Nor did he envision that JPII would fill the College of Cardinals with so many 'like minded', conservative men.

There is a breeze beginning to blow in the church. Many of thes 'progressive' bishops are now dieing and they are being replaced with more conservative men. It's just a matter of time ... but that change has begun.

If he turns out to have been a homosexual Communist in bizarre secret societies, I will not surprised.

Strange and sad about Deal Hudson. I wasn't surprised.

The great irony of course is that many of the so-called progressives who brought us heterodoxy and confusion in the '60s, '70s and '80s were the product of pre-Vatican II seminaries. The newer men who will clean up this mess will be products of post-Vatican II seminaries.
