My source called and told me what he remembered. The two candidates submitted to replace Cardinal George on the ICEL were Cardinal Rigali and Bishop Vigneron,both good orthodox Catholics. He did not know who nominated Troutman from the floor. We need to find out his name because then we can at least identify a true enemy of the Church.

Before I spend more time fuming,and I am fuming,I am hoping to find out who nominated Trautman. Then I think that there are many suspect activities surrounding the electronic balloting and the complement of bishops who can vote on certain issues.

The fact that the exbishop of Phoenix,attended makes me very suspicious. Was he allowed to vote? Certainly he should not have been able to cast a ballot,but his history as a known dissembler and protector of homosexuals leads me to believe that he probably commanderred some machine and cast a ballot for the old guard. Can anyone help with some answers? Thanks.

The EWTN website shows the entire sorry spectacle being rebroadcast tonight at 11 PM Eastern time... if I was home I'd watch it but I'm in work and mine is the only pc without speakers! :-(

I would think the bishop who nominated Trautperson did it as a pre agreed upon action, with the full knowledge of more than a few bishops - you can pick out which ones would not want Vigneron or Burke in charge of the Liturgy committee. I wonder if the bishops got the message when the voting apparatus went haywire for that couple of minutes? Ya, right!
