Anti-Gay and Anti-Modernity Bishop to Head Milwaukee Diocese

Written by michaelinnorfolk on
In follow up to a prior post on the continuing land mines that are exploding against the Catholic Church hierarchy, a reader sent me a link to a story in the Wisconsin Gazette that focuses on the new head of the Catholic Diocese of Milwaukee. The new Archbishop, Jerome Listecki , seems symptomatic of the overall problem with the Church hierarchy: the members are living in a false past and refuse to face the fact that times changes and that the Church's Medieval mindset needs to change...

Pope Benedict XVI and his Anglican counterpart, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, had "cordial discussions" Saturday, the Vatican said amid tensions between the two churches.

Catholic Sexual Abuse Scandals - A Worldwide Overview

Written by michaelinnorfolk on
Canada.com is carrying a Reuters story that provides a brief summary of the Catholic Church sexual abuse scandals. It is noteworthy how few of the high Church officials have resigned or received any punishment. Pope Benedict XVI claims " outrage " over the scandals, yet no one has been fired or forced to resign, so his outrage seems more a case of crocodile tears rather than any real remorse. Or is the outrage mere over the fact that the Church hierarchy has been exposed as a moral cesspool... Read Full Story

His speech... Read Full Story

Anglican leader urges 'convergence' with Catholics

From:  afp.com
Church of England leader Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, said the "glass is half-full" in relations with the Catholic Church despite strains over a Vatican overture to disaffected Anglicans. Speaking ahead of a meeting Saturday with Pope Benedict XVI, who last month approved a new structure for allowing groups of Anglicans into the Catholic fold, Williams said the two churches had "unfinished business" to resolve, but that "the ecumenical glass is genuinely half-full."
