“Stable of problems”! Hahaha! Yes, I suppose he does. Awhile back I was following this whole mess with the Bishop of Toowoomba…and saw that there was some incredible opposition to his removal amongst some of the priests. I hope Bishop-Elect McGuckin gets the place cleaned up!
That’s good news from the trench/battlefield.
In the meanwhile, not-so-good news (IMHO) at command: Donald Cardinal Wuerl of Washington has been appointed to be a member of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).
I thought it was enough that Cardinal Schonborn of Vienna, Austria is a CDF member, but now Cardinal Wuerl in addition to that???
I wonder how on earth those cardinals ended up being appointed to that congregation.
“A stable of problems” – LOL.
I hope the Bishop-Elect gets to trade in his liturgical Beretta for an episcopal M249 SAW ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8sa8QFNEGI )
(fast forward to 4:39 to see the best action, btw)
@oldcanon2257: perhaps the Holy Father quitely hopes that said cardinals will learn a thing or two over there, such as how to properly deal with pseudo-catholic dissent?
[I offer this in all seriousness by the way, it would fit BXVI’s style]
Was it just a coincidence that the announcement was made on the Feast of St. Matthias? “And his bishopric let another take.” (Acts 1:20 quoting Psalm 108(9):8 Rheims New Testament version)
