Great to hear that some authorities are striving to keep the Church Catholic. I just wish our new bishop here in Lexington, KY would do something about the priest who recently baptized the four in-vitro fertilized children of a homosexual CINO couple here (surrogate mother and all) at our cathedral parish. It is clear that these guys have no intention to raise these children in anything remotely resembling the Catholic faith. That is an essential promise in order for the baptism to take place, if I am not mistaken. It was in the news a few weeks ago that they even want to do it all over again!
Our esteemed new mayor, also a CINO, proclaimed in the local bird cage liner that she has never been prouder to be a Catholic! We're in trouble here.
As long as they continue to use the present system wherein the Board of Consultors,usually priests that the bishop trusts,sending a list of three recs (terna)to the Papal Nuncio,and the Papal Nuncio merges other ternas from the area,and passes it by some high level USCCB bishops we will continue to get dreck from dreck. Certainly your area headed by the archbishop of Loiusville has some strange birds.
Currently the USCCB is still governed by Bernardin cronies but we can pray that the tide is turning but until then I think your area is doomed to heretics or at best mediocrity.Sounds to me like you have a bad bishop. Yuk,baptizing in vitro children of a same sex couple.
If the Nuncio is of the saame mind as the leading bishops,he will just pass along three weak sisters to the Secretary of the Congregation of Bishops in Rome and he or his clerics usually send this along to the Pope. Poor Pope,he needs our prayers.
I reread your post,maybe we can pray that at this very minute your new bishop is planning action against that priest. Can you tell me anything about the priest who did the baptizing?
Hate to tell you but Kentucky (both LEx. and Louisv.) Dioceses are real pits.
I assume you cut/pasted the story and forwarded to the USCC and the Papal Legate in DC, as well as to the Congregation for Bishops in Rome...
