[Verginius Rufus]

Do you know what happens to you when you speak ill of the Bishops?

No, I don't...but I'm guessing your answer is "you'll go to hell."

I didn't know there was a rule against criticizing bishops...some of them certainly have deserved it (Weakland, for one). But I don't know that speculating that some of them voted for the Democrats is "speaking ill" of them--they are probably proud of themselves. I'd bet dollars to donuts that my bishop voted for Obama, judging from the statement he put in the diocesan newspaper.

[Salvation]

A proud Christian is surely a contradiction in terms. A Christian is a follower of Christ whose humility can never be equaled. He was God as well as man.
