I hope Bishop Jenky cracks down on these cranks and I don't doubt that he will. He is one of the best bishops around, IMHO. I got to meet him personally many times when I was at Notre Dame and he was still aux. bishop of South Bend-Ft Wayne. Wonderful man - orthodox, kind, intelligent, and strong. Which is probably a lot more than can be said for the "abbot" who has excommunicated Jenky.
Oh c'm on this will end up being a full assault on Jenky and those meanies in Rome. Next thing you know St. Anne-Scott-whatever will add yet another -name and get a job at St. Stans when Bozek leaves.
In response to St. Anne's claim that his abbey maintains an independent status from local diocesan authority, the diocese agrees.
"Bishop Jenky has no authority or jurisdiction in any non-Catholic institution," officials said.
If he was Catholic, it would be different. He's not.
Since he calls himself OSB, it would be nice if the head of the order would sue asking this fellow to immediately cease and desist publicly claiming any sort of association with the Benedictines.
