***We believe in papal infallibility, not bishop infallibility.***

True. But episcopal heretical statements is in another league. Do you not consider his words regarding universalism in the article to be heretical?

***Cardinal Mahoney may be one of the cardinals who elects the next pope, but wouldn't you grant simply as a matter of logic that the Holy Spirit could direct the outcome of the vote if the Spirit wanted to?***

The Holy Spirit could use a monkey, darts and a dart board if He so chose. My point is befuddlement over a Pope who will not address such error in the innermost circle. Should not a Cardinal be an example to the flock and a source of sound doctrine?

Chistian mantras? Very LA!

I didn't read the article, but I wouldn't doubt it. Of course, lots of us are probably material heretics in one way or another. Of greater concern is formal heresy. With Cardinal Mahoney, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

Me too. I don't understand it.

Absolutely. The bishops have failed in many ways, including their failure to excommunicate pro-abortion "Catholic" politicians.
