Perhaps St. Anthony of Padua will give the rest of us more courage to contact our Arch/bishops.

From the website “Saints O'the Day”

"He had a remarkable knowledge of the Bible, and his sermons impressed the erudite no less than the simple, whether he was speaking on behalf of Christian living or against false doctrine. He was strong and fearless, merciless towards oppressors of the defenseless and towards venal clergy. At Bourges, France, after delivering his sermon to the faithful, Antony turned towards the archbishop and openly reprimanded him for his vices.

Saint Anthony Pray for us.

I guess we do have one today in Pope John Paul II!

He may not have done it in public like this, but he has definitely called some bishops and cardinals "on the carpet."
