[Arthur McGowan]

Bishop Adonis Lynch--now there's a "useless eater" if there ever was one. I do not comprehend how the Pope can expect the Catholic Church in America to begin any semblance of reform, when he (JPII) leaves the Church languishing under this type of bishop.

Lynch is right up there with Roger Cardinal Mahoney. Los Angeles Times used to publish pictures of various soirees, and darned if he wasn't in at least one picture per week.

We don't know how long the Pope has, but I really hope the next one kicks butt. I hope that isn't sacreligious, and the Pope is a wonderful leader, but we need a new broom. These bishops and cardinals are guilty of dereliction of duty, and need to go.
