What total nonsense. Shame on you. Every problem in the Catholic Church in America can be traced to conservative Catholics rolling over and playing dead every time a liberal prelate cracked the whip or gave a nod of the head.

So it's better to damage Christ's Church by working against Her in undermining a bishop's legitimate authority than let a liberal get away with making a decision we object to? The ends cannot be used to justify the means. You should read JPII's Encyclical "The Splendor of Truth" if you don't understand this. Also, the problems in the Church are the result of insufficient faith and prayer among all its members, not just your liberal scapegoats.

THIS GAME IS OVER. Priests and laity have their place in the Code of Canon Law, and it is time to fight every AmChurch traitor wherever they may be with every recourse under canon law and American constitutional law.

Nothing in Canon Law states that the laity have any part in a priest's appeal of a reassignment. Furthermore, civil law plays no part in internal Church disputes (or would you prefer that the USSC be allowed to mandate the ordination of women?).

Better check your history, "history_matters". In case you didn't know, the bishops are the heirs of the Apostles. Publicly working to undermine their authority with other members of the laity is an attack on the entire Church, including the Bishop of Rome.

More noxious nonsense from you. Spare me your opinions from the left hand of darkness. Your assertions on this thread are quite possibly ownly exceeded by Renatus in obdurant devotion to the status quo of bishops doing whatever they damn well please knowing Rome is very far away.

Dream on. Cuddle up with Bishops Ryan, Imesch and assorted other minions of Satan if you want to, but do not dare suggest that working to expose evil and wickedness is an attack upon the entire Church including the Pope. That comment alone makes it clear for all that you haven't a clue what you are talking about, or that you are nothing but an emissary from the left hand of darkness.
