I read Lynch's full letter on banning Adoration somewhere else on FR, and afterwards was mad enough to spit nails! How on earth does this kind of person get to become a bishop? Why would someone with this kind of attitude towards Our Lord want to be a bishop, or even a priest, in the first place?

The people of St Petersburg have my deepest sympathies.

As a practical matter, the directive was meant for an abuse where a consecreated host was being used for years, and not replaced. Many ignored it, but most parishes did not have adoration. It caused a lot more Parishes to have adoration, where many did not.

It bothers me that my Bishop is dropping the ball. I have to look past this frail Bishop to to Christ, "who else has the words of eternal life?"

You wanna know something funny sass?

I attended the ordination of one of my firends this past summer. He, along with a couple of other fellows, were the first THREE-MAN "class" our diocese has had in----oh, over twenty years easy (usually just one man---if any).

Anyway, Bishop Lynch was invited by the diocesan vocations director, who's brother was being ordained that day.

I could not make out who the bishop was until our bishop announced it was Lynch. My eyes got great big. I thought, "No! Our bishop is a friend with this guy? No wonder Eucharistic Adoration is not promoted in our diocese----and no wonder we have almost zilch priestly vocations."

Well, like I said above he was there for the brothers.

I told more than a few folks about this guy. The reply was, "Only our diocese."

BTW, our vocations director is not too fond of Eucharistic Adoration I am told.

Imagine that.
