But your description of your relationship with the Church is now a matter of public record, and it needs to be challenged. I invite you, as your bishop and brother in Christ, to enter into a sincere process of discernment, conversion and repentance.

Wow. His Excellency is indeed a vertebrate bishop.

Too bad that his eloquence is wasted on Kennedy, who is stupid even for a notoriously dim-witted clan.

Hopefully it will impress local Catholics who might otherwise be fooled into thinking that you can act like Kennedy and still be Catholic . . . .

As you noted in your second comment, this is intended to impress local Catholics. It is also intended to set the bar higher for other bishops and, with a national audience, Catholics throughout the US.

Here is an example of my response on the other thread. This is a bishop with spine.

Yep, it's the necessary antidote to the scandal that these Catholics-in-name-only have been causing for years.

High time the bishops began to bish!

My sincerest condolences....

As one who lived for three years in Boston, LOL!!!
