They have refused to accept Ex Corde Ecclesia, Cardinal Law was leading the attempt to feminise the New Testament, American Bishops....oh, just forget it. I was going to just start listing the ways in which these Bishops have publicly opposed the Pope but I wouldn't be done typing the list until - until - until, I don't know, maybe untl Ted Kennedy said something sensible

Yes, Peggy didn't go far enough. And the refusal of the bishops to implement Ex Corde Ecclesiae ranks right up there. It's time to purge the seminaries and colleges. If this pope won't do it, hopefully the next one will. God help us.

Anyone who doesn't call for the bishops indictment and eventual imprisonment doesn't go for enough. It is a crime in probably every state to protect child abusers.

For all the criticism about the press's treatment of the church, the press hasn't gone for enough as far as I am concerned. Put their BUTTS in jail. We owe these men no deference, no respect for their position. They've abused their positions of power. It's just one big conspiracy to protect the good ol' boys.

Name me ten American bishops who've spoken out harshly against their fellow bishops and I might manage to garner a little respect for some of them.

Sorry, my latin is poor. What does "Ex Corde Ecclesiae" mean?

Who are the leading contendors for the next pope? Isn't one of them of Jewish heritage and another an ultra-liberal Italian? Isn't there a chance we'll have the first Black (African) Pope? John Paul II was quite a surprise, and I think history will be kind to him. I believe that the Malachi prophecy says the next pope will be "the glory of the olive" .. whatever that means. I think the election of the Pope is an amazing ritual and am excited that, god willing, I will get to see it.
