I don't remember that one! How did it turn out? Do you have a link to a story or thread about it?

Hopefully, Christendom College (where Fr. O' Brien taught for a time), told the "good bishop" to put it where the sun don't shine (in a fraternal and properly Catholic way, of course). The more I hear about Loverde, the more I'm thinking he is a Mahoney wannabe who is just biding his time for the opportunity to cut loose. I never read his column in the Arlington Catholic Herald.

It sounds like he has a bad case of the Vatican IIs.

I hope people are writing to Arinze over all this.

I remember when Bishop Keating died,it was so strange and I was terribly sad. As far as I knew Bishop Keating was one of the finest Bishops in this country.

He wrote some beautiful,holy and compelling Pastoral letters and had an abundance of vocations and ordained many,good,orthodox priests. He did not allow altar girls and was the only Bishop except Bishop Bruskowitz who didn't. However,I was surprised that he did not allow the Tridentine Rite in his diocese either and I did wonder why.

When he died he was only 63 and was in Rome,I think he had just had his Ad Limina visit with the Pope only hours before he died. Certainly mysterious,I watched for more information but everything was eerily silent as far as I was concerned. Then I thought that maybe he was a type that looked prone to heart attacks (heavy) or that he was a smoker and that people did not want to tarnish his image by pointing out what might be considered flaws. Nonetheless,I still wonder.Any thoughts?
