San Francisco Archbishop... Isn't that like saying jumbo shrimp?

[marshmallow]

It's great that you still have outrage.

I'm pretty much numb from all this by now.............

**Archbishop George Niederauer will honor a California financier **

Something is terribly wrong with this picture. Gag alert!

[Salvation]

God bless you for standing up and speaking out!

Dear Lord,

Could you please engage in a bit of smiting. We would gladly sweep away the ashes.

Pray for an end to abortion and the conversion of America to a mindset of life!

I always felt that the Pope got snookered (by Levada) on Neiderauer. I don’t know who recommended Levada in the first place, though; he apparently hasn’t worked out that well, and has been somewhat sidelined as a result. Can’t sideline him enough, IMHO. San Francisco has not had an orthodox bishop in generations.

Not just SF, now you can hardly find an orthodox bishop anywhere on the left coast. With a few exceptions they range from outright apostates and heretics to weak, vague, ‘peace and justice’ types who will speak out on global warming but not abortion.

In my archdiocese (Portland), a parish priest recently asked parents to bring their children a bit early to Mass so they could all say the Rosary together. You would think people would rejoice at a priest taking this sort of initiative. The parents complained to Archbishop Vlazny, who instead of giving them a gentle lesson in piety, respect for their priest, or Marian devotion, chastised the priest and told him to “compromise” by saying one decade only.

I wonder what percentage of Catholic Bishops in the US are pro-abortion. A few (very few) have been vocally pro-life, but they seem more than offset by those on the other end of the scale.

Very true. It's been all downhill since Archbishop Mitty died in 1961. From there, it went to McGucken (liberal) to Quinn (even worse) to Levada (no better) to Niederauer (even worse).

[Carpe Cerevisi]

Let’s also pray for the conversion of some bishops to Catholicism.

Can't say I am surprised. Fruits of Vatican II. A traditional parish would have been there a full hour ahead of time with Rosaries in hand and young'uns in tow.
