This lack of discipline is the Vlazny legacy. He did not push lefty Catholicism, but did have an ‘anything goes’ attitude. His female henchman chancellor was another story. She would fit right in with these women.
Archbishop Sample has gradually, gently been trying to help wayward parishes refine their behavior. He is the most respectful and fair-minded bishop you could imagine.
George did more in 11 months than Levada did in 11 years.
Levada was an improvement on his predecessor, but his pace of reform might be measured in Millenia.
You’re right about Vlazny, and yes, we are so fortunate to have Archbishop Alexander Sample. Please pray for him.
