You can’t fight the diocese and you can’t use the word Catholic.

Are you saying that RealCatholicTV was fighting against the Catholic mission of the diocese? How so?

But if this account is true and complete (and John-Hernry Westen has, as far as I know, a good track record for "tue and complete") Archbishop Vigneron does not have the authority to rein in an organization not owned or based in his Archdiocese. And if he hasn't the authority, then RealCatholic only has the obligation in charity to tell him so, and to invite a respectful dialog if there are any unresolved conflicts. This --- dialogue -- is just what RealCatholic has requested repeatedly.

Mind you, I sometimes applaud, and sometimes wince, at RealCatholic's aggressive style. But that's not the point. I'm no canonist, and I am open to correction, but if the issue is ecclesiastical auhority, it appears they're in the right.

So no, I don't think RealCatholic is out of line, Do you?

Thirty years ago, the Bishop of Wilmington, DE told me that there was no room in the Catholic Church for people like me - Catholic Conservative. The current Bishop let me know that he still feels the same way.

But Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and the rest of the child molesters are welcome.

I suppose it comes down to "which diocese?"
