"As the Bishop of the Diocese of Marquette, I am the chief shepherd and teacher of the Catholic faithful of the Upper Peninsula entrusted to my pastoral care," said Bishop Sample in a public statement. "As such I am charged with the grave responsibility to keep clearly before my people the teachings of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals."

Now THAT's a bishop doing his job!!

Remember that a bishop will have to answer for his charges' sins.

Good for him! The Church (East and West) needs more bishops like him.

Now, why is the other (retired auxiliary bishop) not defrocked as the Councils call for? After all, everything he teaches seems to be contrary, indeed anathemical to Catholic doctrine.
