I do not understand how these groups, New Ways Ministry and Call to Action, are not excommunicated by ALL US diocese (the article says only one)...what is wrong with American Catholic leaders?

Three cheers! Now if only all Catholics Bishops are ordered by the Vatican to do the same; and deny the Holy Eucharist to the likes of Pelosi, the Church would renew itself by leaps and bounds. And then there is the matter of Cardinal Mahony who should be given the boot before he reaches 75.

Am especially heartened to see it is a Bishop among the new generation taking a stand for the basic teachings of the church!

It takes much to steer the USCCB Titanic away from the icebergs. Pope Benedict XVI has come to us at the turning of the tide...

Good for this Bishop. In most normal minds, the controversy would be if they DID allow them to.

I am the same age as the younger bishop and can only hope that by the time my generation starts controlling the church, things will improve. I’m sure changes will come, and I hope they’ll be GOOD changes. I’m hopeful.

Gumbleton is almost 39 years senior to Sample, and represents an aging and shrinking demographic of US bishops whose heterodox opinions were formed in seminaries during the 1950s and who were active in ministry during the cultural upheaval of the 1960s and 70s. Perhaps this, will clarify the situation.

"As the Bishop of the Diocese of Marquette, I am the chief shepherd and teacher of the Catholic faithful of the Upper Peninsula entrusted to my pastoral care," said Bishop Sample in a public statement. "As such I am charged with the grave responsibility to keep clearly before my people the teachings of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals."
Now THAT's a bishop doing his job!!
Remember that a bishop will have to answer for his charges' sins.

Marquette Bishop Alexander K. Sample, 49... and one of the youngest US Catholic bishops, recently banned Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, 79, a retired auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit and notorious promoter of homosexuality, contraception, and homosexual and women's ordination, from entering and speaking in his diocese, citing his pastoral duty to defend the "faith and morals" of the Catholic Church. God bless Bishop Sample for standing up for what is right. Perhaps the 60s trend of youth rebellion is at last going to turn around, with the righteous young leading the old hippies out of the way. Why has that old fool Gumbleton been allowed to continue such politically connected, anti-Christian nonsense?

“Marquette Bishop Alexander K. Sample, 49-years-old and one of the
youngest US Catholic bishops, recently banned Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, 79,

women’s ordination...”
Wow, I’m impressed.
Sounds like there are some “young Turks” in the Catholic ranks ready
to speak up against the hyper-liberal Catholic seminary grads from
a few decades back.
Way to go Bishop Sample, even though I am an unqualified non-Catholic
observer of these events.
