Rumours continue in Cleveland that Pilla is on his way out. Today, I heard from someone who works at the diocese, that the Vatican was actually going to sweep house and replace every bishop in the diocese. I pray that one is true. The good news is that Pilla and Benedict do not get along and Benedict is well aware that Pilla is untrustworthy.

Oh, and since this comes up in every Pilla discussion:


Born November 12, 1932, unless he retires or is forced out, we are stuck with him until 2007.

As a former resident of the Diocese of Cleveland, I can tell you from personal experience about my dealings with Bishop Pilla. Although I was never sexually abused, I was treated very shabbily when I voiced a complaint to him about a priest who terminated me as a pastoral minister in a parish! I was forbidden to have access to the Chancery Office, I was forbidden to have admission to the Seminary library...it's terrible!

I for one will be glad when Pilla and Wiatrowski get the boot! It's been too late in coming! I'm starting my own conservative website on Yahoo. Please pass the word!!
