In an unprecedented move, more than 100 prominent Roman Catholic donors and church members signed a full-page ad running Thursday in The Chronicle that calls on Pope Francis to replace San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone for fostering an atmosphere of division and intolerance.
The plea follows months of dissent within the archdiocese over Cordileones emphasis on traditional, conservative church doctrine including asking high school teachers and staffers at Catholic schools to sign a morality clause that characterizes sex outside of marriage and homosexual relations as gravely evil.
In their open letter to the pope, Cordileones critics say his morality-clause push is mean-spirited and sets a pastoral tone that is closer to persecution than evangelization.

Cafeteria catholics still throwing a hissy fit over Archbishop Cordileone actually wanting Catholicism taught in SF Catholic schools. The nerve of that bishop. Who in the world does he think he is, a Catholic bishop? Didn't he clear all this with Nancy Pelosi first. How could he be so mean. I'm gonna tell Pope Francis on him. Me will!!

Back the Archbishop! The Church in its essence is “divisive” - dividing sin from virtue, and “intolerant” - of the Enemy!

San Freaksicko. Figures. Did Jesus say to the woman who was almost stoned “Go and sin some more”? I don’t think so.
This Southern Baptist says the archbishop is correct and should stand his ground.

I have never heard of ANY of these so-called “prominent Catholics”? Who do they make themselves out to be?

I understand the liberal Episcopalians have plenty of room for these disaffected CINOs....

If “Catholics” have a problem with the Cardinal's spreading of Christ's teachings then it's *they*,and not the Cardinal,who should go.His (Christ's) teachings are not negotiable.”Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” isn't complicated...one needn't be a rocket scientist to understand it.
There's plenty of room at the typical Unitarian/Universals "church" for skepics.

Back the Archbishop! The Church in its essence is divisive - dividing sin from virtue, and intolerant - of the Enemy! Of the complainers, the French adage holds:
"Qui s'excuse, s'accuse."
Back the Bishop.

I doubt that those “Catholics” who are complaining were ever Catholics to begin with.

There's plenty of room at the typical Unitarian/Universals "church" for skepics. And there's room at the Cross for the rest.

When I saw the headline, I knew the prominent Catholics
did not support his ouster because he was too liberal.

The folks in SF want the bishop sacked for the unforgivable sin of being Catholic. The probably want him replaced by a Unitarian.
