I left KC before the turmoils of the late 60's and early 70's and missed the later issues with Father Hart (although I knew him very well) now retired Bishop Hart, and those miserable years that caused KC's priests to cover their arses, to use a horrid term. I think now the clerics have learned that returning to the original church teaching will rid the clericalism that befell the post VII hierarchy into the mess that it has been. I hope that Archbishop Nauman will help. I have had some dealings with him and I do trust him.<br /><br />I hope you continue your work on this site "mudge, you do an honorable job.Hoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224816012035167024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-53525770846487728982015-04-25T12:19:58.928-05:002015-04-25T12:19:58.928-05:00We must presume that the Pope's mercy extends ...We must presume that the Pope's mercy extends to one and all except those who don't share his peculiar ecclesiology. <br /><br />Bishop Finn was a better man and a better Catholic than his critics could ever hope to be. The good bishop will be fine. The Opies in St. Louis will provide him with a nice place to live, or maybe he could go work for Cardinal Burke in Malta. Not a bad landing place.Dr. Bombayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479847178581885093noreply@blogger.com
