I can only speak to the situation in Denver. Our current Bishop came to us from South Dakota. Following on Archbishop Stafford, the current Europian-American - based “scourge of the USA”, he started with promise, but has not delivered.
If you read First Things, he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Unfortunately, he is much bark, with little bite. I do not wish him on any other American Diocese. We will contend with him here in Denver, until his eventual retirement.
This we do in charity to our brothers. Please pray for us.
Was this the happy and sad announcement you had hinted at?
**This Bishop will shake things up but it will be diffucult! The NYT’s will be whining all the Time!**
If there is such a thing as Catholic popcorn, we should bring it out and watch. It will be very interesting!
How was archbishop Dolan on pro-life and marriage is between a man and woman issues?
He will be a serious upgrade and he’s now gotten a taste of what it’s like to clean out a rats’ nest. I pray he will have the fortitude to shepherd NYC during the era of the Obamanation.
Your analysis of Chaput is spot on.
Hey, he's ridin' the Hopemobile!
ROTFLOL! ;-D
No ... that was Regnum Christi.
I’ll always be thankful to God for Egan’s spot on response to the Pelosi abortion comments episode. It was Spirit filled.
I hope Dolan will be just as forceful
Wouldn't mere "archbishop" be a demotion for THE ONE?
A false messiah might have problems being that close to holy water, the sacraments, and blessed objects and sacramentals though. It might be a problem. It might be why Pelosi is rushing to Rome - to demand to know why Dolan was picked instead of the One.
excerpt from 2004 talk & comment at http://thomasgwyndunbar.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/archbishop-dolan/
Too many “politicians” bleeding hearts and “diplomats” in the Catholic church since WW2 and Vatican 2.
I would like some kinds of Middle-Age ,warrior Bishops and Popes who accepted to die for faith,truth,and christian civilization
