You know, he would be perfect for DC, the Capitol of our nation, precisely because he is from the Midwest.
The culture shock he would be able to generate with all our federal officials located there would be awesome. The Catholic Faith would be taught to the whole nation through the national press on nearly a nightly basis. (heehee)
Just think of all the potential threads right here on FR....
Dear TotusTuus,
If he were to do in Washington, DC what he did in Lincoln, Nebraska, it would, indeed, create absolutely national reverberations.
I'm not sure that he could excommunicate the likes of Chappaquiddick Ted and others, as they are responsible to their own bishops. However, he COULD bar them from Holy Communion throughout the Archdiocese of Washington.
I'd be very encouraged by Fabian Cardinal Bruskewitz, Archbishop of Washington, DC.
