I write in response to the article about nominee and practicing Catholic John Roberts. (UB, July 29) John Roberts opposed equal rights for women as an aide to Justice William Renquist in the 1980s. He played a pivotal role on President Bush's legal team that secured the presidency for him in 2000. He wrote that there is no guarantee of privacy in the U.S. Constitution. He sat on the three-judge panel that overturned the U.S. District Court ruling that the U.S. must treat Guantanamo Bay detainees in accord with the Geneva Conventions. If this is a practicing Catholic, maybe an...

Wiatrowski, of Cleveland, says that the diocese does not officially propagate the practices but sees nothing wrong with elements of them.

Christopher Kodger wants Bishop Anthony M. Pilla of the Diocese of Cleveland to resign. ``Bishop Pilla is an evil, wicked man, and I demand his resignation,'' said Kodger, 35, of Alaska. ``If he and other leaders who participated in a cover-up don't resign, then we, good Catholics, must starve them out and take back our church. I believe this is a direct mandate of God.'' Kodger said he was molested by the Rev. F. James Mulica in 1981 at the Chapel of the Divine Word in Kirtland in Lake County, which is part of the Cleveland Diocese. He returned to...

We have learned that as early as this Thursday, the Plain Dealer will be reporting on Bishop Anthony Pilla and his involvement in a major new financial scandal involving the Diocese of Cleveland. The story is believed to include new information which will be very damaging to the bishop and include charges completely unrelated to the earlier scandal involving former Diocese of Cleveland CFO Joseph Smith. For some time now, Clevelanders have been wondering what ever happened to the FBI investigation into the activities of former Cleveland Catholic Diocese CFO Joseph H. Smith. Smith, you will recall, was put on...

Bishop Anthony M. Pilla's "Live On In My Love" column Mass changes: Deeper reflection on Eucharist The new General Instruction to the Roman Missal (GIRM, as it is called in shorthand) is presenting our local Church and the universal Church with an opportunity to do some quality and authentic Christian reflection upon our spiritual lives. As the ministers of the church were instructed last week, the few revisions called for are those that speak of our reverence for the Body of Christ – the Body of Christ UPON the altar and AROUND the altar. Sadly, however, our instant and functional...

I recently received the following encouraging e-mail: Fellow Catholic of the Cleveland Diocese: At long last, faithful pro-life Catholics in the Diocese of Cleveland have a website of our own: http://www.clevelanddiocese.com/ Unlike the Official Diocese of Cleveland website, (which devotes seven pages to its ambiguous "Gay and Lesbian Ministry" and zero pages to its Pro-life Ministry) you will not find a Gay Pride Rainbow Triangle at http://www.clevelanddiocese.com/ Why do the Northeastern Ohio laity need their own website? * For several years the Cleveland Diocese through the Campaign for Human Development had been giving thousands of dollars to an organization named...
