No. The Pope, like every bishop I've read about, believed that sexual abuse of minors was a weakness, which could be overcome with prayer and a change of scenery. And, in fact, the psychiatrists believed that, too.
The fate of the victims was not as important as the well-being of the priests involved.

Thank you for this clarification. My apologies for misrepresenting your position.

"When will it stop, this change after change after change in our liturgy? Will it never end? In a word, No." ""Let chaos storm!" "I trust we shall soon feel at ease with the drape and the feel and the fit." But isn't he contradicting himself?? The change is good and ongoing and should be. When will he feel at ease? At that point, won't he want it to stop? Or is it that he will stop it when it suits him, and tell his parish that that is the time to stop. And what about other parishes? Will they find the fit 'sooner' or 'later'? Chaos is what he will get.

LOL!
Are you at a Byzantine parish?

LOl! Can't stop laughing...

Bishop of the Diocese of Dodge City I think he misread it as Sheriff of Dodge City, and made himself the law. I hope the good people of Dodge City have called in for back up.

My mother was raised in the Byzantine tradition and had many Orthodox relatives as well. It's a beautiful tradition. I am able to attend (about an hours drive away) occasionally, however don't get there as often since we lost my mom 4 yrs ago.

And this is something I wonder about as well... where did the handholding and palms held up and out during the Our Father come from? It was explained to me, by a priest at a retreat a couple of years ago, that this was a long ago traditional way to pray.
Personally, I like it. Unless I am with a family member, I don't really care to hold hands and do the "kum-by-ya" thing trying to reach and grasp for one another across the ailes...it gets pretty distracting.
And it's kinda practical during cold season too :)
