the Pastors of the Church need clearly to promote the correct moral teaching of the Church and publicly to reprimand individuals who spread dissent and groups which advance ambiguous approaches to pastoral care ... a new and serious Apostolic Visitation of seminaries and other institutes of formation must be made without delay, with particular emphasis on the need for fidelity to the Churchs teaching, especially in the area of moralityMy dear brother bishops of the USA, if you had been doing your job these past 20 years, this problem never would have happened.

The more I read about the problems of the Catholic Church, the more I applaud the Boys Scouts for standing against gays serving as scout leaders.

My dear brother bishops of the USA, if you had been doing your job these past 20 years, this problem never would have happened. 20? More like 40. But it is a sad commentary that orthodox Catholics applaud the fact that our Cardinals have put into writing that they will teach the authentic moral teaching of the Church and speak out against those who dissent.
One imagines this used to be understood as the job of a bishop.
