A lot of statements on the sumptousness of the mansions, etc., ... In any event, all this nonsense about where the Bishops live is missing the point concerning what should be of concern to current problems in the Church. Re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic is the last of our problems.
The fundamental call of the Bishops as successors to the Apostles of "Teach, Rule, Sanctify", and their abysmal failure to do so, seems to me to be the issues that the Bishops need to be grappling with.
I'm surprised that Peggy was so pedestrian in her comments to the Bishops.

I'm surprised that Peggy was so pedestrian in her comments to the Bishops. I'm not. What she said is exactly what I'd expect of her. No red meat.

I'm not sure Peggy always thinks things through. She's part of the whole image making machine of the media. On one hand, yes, she has a point, that there should be less glitz for its own sake, but at the same time, there is a lot she glosses over and doesn't take into account.
It's a little frustrating.
