The Bishops will issue a bland pastoral letter and think their work is done. <br /><br />To be fair to them I don't think they will actually know how to respond. Coming from a model of bishops who had power, authority and respect, using their influence to keep society Catholic, they do not know how to be powerless bishops in conflict with anti-Catholic civil authorities. <br /><br />We need new bishops who know how to face the challenges and are courageous enough to know that they may need to lay down their lives in witness to Christ, his teaching and his Church. <br /><br />We must pray for the Nuncio.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496103327369055047.post-14457681011594376782012-07-10T21:23:02.769+01:002012-07-10T21:23:02.769+01:00That is the truth, Peter!

The attendance of Catholic priests was just as poor - and these are our leaders in Faith and Morals! Prolife people and people of faith in Ireland have been without adequate leadership for decades.Lyndanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496103327369055047.post-31752804432941240732012-07-10T16:29:15.152+01:002012-07-10T16:29:15.152+01:00We could have devices fitted to priests and everyo...We could have devices fitted to priests and everyone in the congregation with a button.

If the bishops do not do this, they are even more culpable than the ministers. This ought to be shouted from the rooftops so that everyone hears it.Peternoreply@blogger.com
