Dear Diary,
The guy from Pie Town who claims he’s getting the run around? Not so much. The man knew he had some kind of prohibition for him getting married in church unless he went for counseling or treatment. So he wanted another answer. That’s why he came over to Fr. Bruce. We’re sending him back to his own diocese and Fr. “Anything Goes” Bob. I asked if I could remove the ‘vetitum’ (the canon people corrected my spelling of it) but I was told I can’t because the man lives in the Pie Town diocese and is not my subject. Dang it. I wanted to be the hero in this thing. Have fun with that, Dozer! I least I can send a follow up to the Nuncio and let him know these folks don’t even live in my diocese!

Fr. Z,
I’m starting to think that this is all made-up stories – surely a man of this acumen, insight, and selflessness would be a coadjutor in Chicago or DC by now. The insights, the decisive self-assurance, the … je ne sais quoi … he’s clearly a man with a future. And yet, he’s not – are you sure your source is reliable?
If Bishop McFattypants keeps up this kind of behavior, they may reward him with a position of Papal Nuncio.
Poor Bishop (poor Fr. Tommy). I actually feel for them both. Is it possible that Bishop is beginning to wonder about what’s happening…probably not. But if he is then the awakening would be interesting to watch.
We show dogs and I get asked if I’ve seen “Best in Show”. I reply that it’s an exaggeration, but not much of one.
I used to think His Grace was a grotesque caricature, but it’s now dawning on me that it’s quite likely that many of them really resemble F. Atticus.
