So if Abp. Dolan refuses to take control, what will he do then? I suppose he could take the Cdl. George approach and support the more orthodox parishes(and protect them from the chancery), but does he have any plan? At the very least, will he try to recruit more orthodox seminarians? Pretty soon if not allready, many potential vocations will make their way to the St. Louis archdiocese.
Frankly, our Archbishop has had two years here. He's brought in a new VocDir at the Seminary, fired TWO editors of the Catholic Herald, cut staff at the Puzzle Palace (Chancery), and did an excellent job of handling the criminal assault pervert priests (published the names of those who had 'credible charges'/pulled them out of service/referred their case to Rome for laicization.) In addition, he forced a priest to retract an invitation to the local FutureChurch/CallToAction bunch to hold a wimmins ordination rally at a church.
OTOH, the Seminary is still full of teachers who have expressed questionable (or flat-out wrong) teachings; many Parishes still have PoofterWonk Mass "celebrations" pushed down their throats--and by this I do not mean that the priest/celebrant forgot to say the Creed on one given 0730 Sunday Mass--I mean that the priest "forgets" to say the Creed EVERY SUNDAY--or worse.
It's getting a bit frustrating.
Worst, in my mind, he's failed to follow the lead of Bps. Burke, Sherman, Bruskewitz (et al) in smacking the CINO politicians out of the Communion line.
