A Bishop---LYING???
More paving materials for the roadway...
Thanks Al. Nice summary.
As you will recall, as Bishop Pilla's visit to Rome approached, there was a very concerted effort to bring attention to the scandals in the Diocese of Cleveland.
Clearly, the bishop realized he would be asked about Futurechurch and attempted to do some damage control with this statement.
Once he got back from Rome, it immediately became a dead letter.
But as noted above, everyone on every side of the issue was suprised and stunned when this "new edict" was issued. For the diocese to claim that they had been telling people the same thing "for the past several years" is ridiculous.
As the Plain Dealer noted in April of 2004:
"The group had operated unrestricted in the Cleveland diocese for more than a decade. But the truce ended unexpectedly April 1 after Pilla issued an edict to all pastors."
Obviously, the truce began again once Pilla returned from Rome. And today it is business as usual for Futurechurch in the Diocese of Cleveland.
Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem with "the Great" being appended to a Pope who appointed the likes of Bernardin and Mahoney, "taken in" by Pilla's promises or sanctioning (per "five-year plan") the likes of cultist secret societies like the Neo-Catechumenical way?
Wow!!! Over 2,000 views of this thread. Someone has been looking at it. I'll be sure to get it up on the blog. Sorry for the delay, I was in Alaska for a couple of weeks.
any news?
The Catholic Church is looking more and more like the UN.
