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.

Do have anything more objective to say about my comments to you than a string of unsubstantiated and fallacious Ad Hominem attacks?

OBEDIENCE TO PETER AND TO THOSE OBEDIENT TO PETER.

Again, any attack on the legitimate authority of the church's bishops is an attack on the heir of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.

The issue is the illegitimate use of authority. The issue is legitimate opposition to injustice, wickedness, and out and out evil. If a bishop has covered up for a pedophile, out he must go. If a bishop uses his office to persecute the conservative faithful and promote anti-Magisterial, anti-Papal individuals, out he must go. If the laity must use everything in their power to see to the resignation or removal of such individuals, then they must be like St. Catherine of Sienna and without temerity speak the truth to power when power is unable to see the truth.

OBEDIENCE TO PETER AND TO THOSE OBEDIENT TO PETER.
