The recent national mandate to “all bishops” from Teresa Kettelkamp...

* Talk about the triumph of Feminism. Christian Bishops now take their marching orders from some loud-mouth harridan.

I ain't holding my breath waiting for American Bishops to, finally, act like men. We Christians in America have been abandoned. I recognized this fact over 25 years ago. Ask yourself when it was you thought the majority of American Bishops Taught, Ruled, and Sanctified.

There was the excellent corporate response to Roe V. Wade but it has been all downhill since.

We have been abandoned to the wolves; our Bishops have embraced the world; and we are Shepherdless sheep. How long, O Lord, will it be before the Bishops turn and follow you?

I further state that I accept and intend to defend the law on ecclesiastical celibacy as it is proposed by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church; I accept and promise to defend the ecclesiastical teaching about the immorality of the homosexual act; I accept and promise to promulgate always and I everywhere what the Church's Magisterium teaches on contraception. So help me God and these Holy I Scriptures, which I touch with my hand.
In response to the crisis of confidence in the United States generated by a gradual infiltration of homosexuals into the ranks of the clergy over the years, we propose that all clergy, regardless of rank, status, or position, be required to sign the same Profession of Faith clearly condemning all homosexual acts and precluding the clergy from advocating or approving homosexual acts, contraception, and related sins of grave immorality. We further propose that those who refuse to sign have their faculties suspended, effective immediately upon their statement of intent not to take the oath.
