True enough...but perhaps there are several who won't be coming home. There has to be accountability...and if it means that every bishop in the country has to resign, so be it. the Bishop's Conference would fight the Holy Father on taht one but I really believe the people would be squarely with him. The American bishops have been in unannounced schism for 20 years now...it's time to get this out in the open.
Amen. I think that the Holy See is doing the right thing. I honestly believe that he has been strongly guided by the Holy Spirit during his tenure as Leader of Christ's Church on Earth, and I believe that he will be guided in doing what needs to be done.
I think that us faithful, particularly since we have been loyal to our Pope, need to remember that whatever happens, we don't know everything. The Pope's actions may or may not seem strange to us when he does act next week, and ultimately, we may not even know about all of the decisions and directives. We need to have great faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ, to guide His leader on earth to do what is best for the Church and her people.
Like children, we don't always know what is good for us, but our loving parents do. We need to remember that our Father in Heaven loves us infinitely more than we can comprehend, infinitely more than our parents love us, and infinitely more than we love our own children. Knowing I would die to protect my own children, the knowledge of God's love is even more humbling.
God bless.
