This anecdote has been at Wikipedia for a long time. It has never been sourced, but it is funny. I thought of it seeing your cartoon, Father.
As a long time baseball fan, and a New Jersey resident, your comment about Joe “Ducky” Medwick made me smile.
On Pope Francis, Bishop Gracida has called for an investigation into the validity of his election. Do you have any thoughts on that, Father?
Just so folks know, the St. Louie Cardinals *do not* wear red uniform tops (at Spring Training they do).
This is a lot of fun none-the-less. :^)
Having said that – Go Cardinals beat the Bravos!
It is difficult to explain, while remaining charitable, any reason for the fact the ArchBp Chaput has not been named Cardinal already. For the last 100 years EVERY ArchBp of Philadelphia has been elevated to the college of cardinals. His writings are always worth reading and in interviews is is unfailingly both meek & strongly orthodox. Ii pray his resignation is not accepted & he becomes the 1st Native American cardinal.
Sadly, the reason Abp Chaput has not and will not be named a Cardinal is too well known.
The reason why is well known to us in his private and public presentations.

So it continues in his warning:
Friends of the Bridegroom: For a Renewed Vision of Priestly Celibacy, written by Cardinal Marc Ouellet, was released Oct. 2. The English translation of the book was published by EWTN Publishing.
“I am not against the fact that there is a debate, but I think at this time of history and of the Church there is a need of reflection…” he said. “And so, my intervention is to substantiate the debate, to give something substantial to aid discernment.”
“I remain skeptical out of convictions and knowledge of the Catholic tradition in the Latin rite, so I think this has to be very much taken care of in the debate,” he continued, adding that he remains open to what will happen during the synod.
“That being said,” the cardinal continues, “new paths of the future will bear evangelical fruits if they are consistent with a complete proclamation of the Gospel, sine glosa, which does not sacrifice anything of the permanent values of the Christian tradition.”
He says in the book that “pastoral creativity” is needed in order to be attentive to cultural characteristics while addressing the lack of priests, “but we must first verify the quality of the witness of missionaries, who can effectively transmit the faith when it permeates their entire lives and unambiguously motivates their lifestyle and evangelizing activity.”

I have not read the book, such as to further discern Cdl Ouellet’s motivations, intentions or sense of the faith in its ur-epochal journey under God’s historical intentions. But when he purportedly by this article’s reporting, mentions “pastoral” without mentioning doctrinal, it would seem the two have intentionally not yet met in his exegesis; unless we await his definition of “complete proclamation” of the Gospel, and then too, “quality,” “entire lives,” and ‘unambiguous motivation of lifestyle’; “evangelizing activity” perhaps being an interesting acquiescence notwithstanding its phrase-word choice.
Who I am I kidding; this is a whole lot of truck-driving hole created wreck of which intention is to exactly sacrifice permanent values of the CATHOLIC tradition.
To be clear that what follows the ‘so it continues in his warning’ is not Abp Chaput’s comments, but my segue to a cited view to that which is an exemplar of his warning.
