Dr. Sasso is the Vice-Chancellor. Fr. Bradley Offutt (that's the proper spelling-I checked) is the Chancellor.<BR/><BR/>I made no criticism of Bp. Helmsing's personal holiness and orthodoxy. My criticism is of the fruits of his governance of the diocese, much as I have of Pope John Paul II. A Bishop's duty is to teach, govern and sanctify. I am not in a position to judge how well he performed his duty of sanctification, and I accept what everyone has said about him in that regard; however, the weaknesses of his governance and the ineffectiveness of his teaching (even not knowing all the particulars of his episcopacy and attributing much of the chaos in KC to his immediate predecessor and his two successors) is manifested today in the lack of vocations, the dozens of closed churches, the continued presence of the National Catholic Distorter on Armour Boulevard as a "Catholic" publication, etc.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958570482046462392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1146074366775717722006-04-26T12:59:00.000-05:002006-04-26T12:59:00.000-05:00Am I not mistaken that Dr. Claude Sasso is the Vic...Am I not mistaken that Dr. Claude Sasso is the Vice-Chancellor?

I mean, see if you can get your hands on the denunciation of the NCR...it exudes holiness and proper use of authority.
