From NRO Online The Corner:

BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY: [Rod Dreher] Michael Rose, author of Goodbye, Good Men, the blockbuster expose of homosexuality and heresy in American seminaries, e-mails to say he just filled an order from a Polish monsignor in the Vatican, who ordered four copies and promised to do his best to get a copy into the Holy Father's hands before the pontiff meets next week with the American cardinals. You go, Monsignor! If John Paul reads only chapter four, "The Gay Subculture," he will meet the cardinals with fire blazing in his eyes. In other good news, Regnery Publishing has bought rights to Goodbye, Good Men, which is now out only in paperback, and will be rushing a hardcover edition into stores next month. Regnery's involvement means this extremely important book will get huge distribution and exposure. Posted 1:50 PM | [Link]

An international group of faithful Roman Catholics has contacted Vatican prelates and all active U.S. cardinals and asked them to publicly affirm the Church's 1961 pronouncement against admitting homosexuals or pedophiles to the priesthood.

Truly pathetic that the laity must be the ones calling on the Cardinals to be Catholic in more than name only. If they will not affirm this, and the Vatican will not enforce this, we might as well pull up the tent stakes and go home and wait for the Trumpets to sound.

And, moreover, that the Church's teachings be honored without public dissent by faculty on ALL Catholic campuses, including colleges and universities as well as seminaries. If they don't do this, the problems just continue.

Brian,

Be clever. Wait until the next "news" story about the scandal isposted and then post this piece "en toto" as a comment right away. That way you accomplish your goal: making sure FReepers get ALL the info - not just what big media want them to get. Keep using that tactic. It works.

This is an excellent development and helps calm me down over what Cardinal Law has been saying. I hope the Polish msgr. gets the copy of the book to the Holy Father.

sometimes it is bad to reaffirm stances because it shows that the view was called into question. as much as i agree with the stance against sodomite priests, i dont know what i think about a reaffirmation.

I'm adding that Monsignor to my prayers!
