Agreed. We need some bishops like this. (Burke comes to mind though.) I liked this part too:
"For in view of our office there is no freedom for us, on whom a zeal for the Christian religion is incumbent greater than on all others, to dissimulate or to be silent. We bear the burdens of all who are oppressed, or rather the blessed apostle Peter, who in all things protects and preserves us, the heirs, as we trust, of his administration, bears them in us."
I'll have to get back to ya :)
Imagine the USCCB hearing this from one of their members? There'd be a lot of fainting going on...and vapours and whatnot
