True that. I can't wait to see his first consistory (Chaput needs a red hat). And the quality of new bishops has already gone way up recently in the US -- I expect that trend to continue. I don't know about heads rolling ~ it seems that sort of thing will mostly be handled via attrition.
"Chaput needs a red hat"
Couldn't agree more. I met Chaput in Memphis and Spokane, at two Kateri conferences. Shared a bottle of wine one evening, we were in the same hotel.
He has my vote for Benedict's successor. (If I had a vote!)
Offer them a buyout. The money the church would loose on the buyout, they would get back 10X in weekly donations.
