I don't think either of us can influence Bishop O'Malley and from what I can tell, he is a much better Christian than I can ever hope to be.

That having been said, I do think he had an opportunity to do great things. It is also true I am looking in from the outside and I could well be wrong and you could be right, but, I am waiting for one in Apostolic Sucession to cut loose and act as though he were Robert Duvall in "Gods and Generals" and act as though he was constitutionally (intended) incapable of compromising language in dealing with an enemy of objective morality.

I really ache to see such action. Don't you?

Maybe it is just me pining for the old ways....

I do. But I want it to be for the sake of those who need correction, and not for the sake of you and me, who are self-righteously standing on the sidelines and cheering it on.

As for "Gods and Generals," my wife twisted my arm into watching it two weeks ago. It's a dreadfully slow movie, and I left it and came back to FR after an hour.
