I have noticed from personal experience that those who attend St. Bernard’s come back speaking Rochester-ese....and I no longer look to them for spiritual guidance. I have been told by one of them that the Pope is just a doddering old fool and not to be listened to. I stood with my mouth hanging open in shock. I stopped listening to them years ago.
I wish I knew the answer to that. He needs many prayers as I am afraid he will have much to answer for.
Get off this thread!
Archbishop Jean Jadot, Pope Paul VI's apostolic delegate to the United States from 1973-1980, has no regrets about the spate of bad bishops he inflicted on the Catholics of this country.snip
Jadot is still proud of some of his most notorious picks, such as Bishop Walter Sullivan of Richmond, Va., Archbishop Rembert Weakiand of Milwaukee, and Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles - to name but a few, many of whom are known more for their advocacy of homosexual rights, their protection of pederast priests, and their conunitment to modernism than to their commitment to the Church's doctrines. Other men who became bishops during Jadot's tenure in the United States include Rochester Bishop Matthew Clark; Albany's Howard Hubbard; former Santa Fe Archbishop Roberto Sanchez, who resigned in a sex scandal; former San Jose Bishop Pierre DuMaine; former Honolulu Bishop Joseph Ferrario; San Antonio Archbishop Patrick Flores; former Newark Archbishop Peter Gerety; Joliet, Ill., Bishop Joseph Imesch; Louisille Archbishop Thomas C. Kelly, O.P., a former staffer at the apostolic nuncio under Jadot; Bernard Cardinal Law of Boston (whom Jadot selected as bishop for Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Mo.), Cincinnati Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk; Saginaw, Mich., Bishop Kenneth Untener - to name a few more - all of whom, supposedly, mirrored his own progressive image as a "man of the people."
The article was written in 2002. Archbishop Jadot passed away in January 2009, at the age of 99. Both Bishops Hubbard (Albany) and clark (Rochester) will reach mandatory retirement age in another 3 years. They have been friends since seminary.
I am no fan of Ted Kennedy but I was not present at his deathbed and have no knowledge of his final moments which may very likely have included a full confession. If you were there and can attest otherwise, please let me know. Otherwise, neither one of us is in a position to judge him, nor those who officiated at his funeral.
“They have been friends since seminary.”
Are we supposed to read between the lines? NOTHING would surprise any more. This generation of priests and bishops have done incalculable harm that will take another few generations to overcome.
Hubbard’s a Paul VI leftover. Enjoy your new springtime Bishop; your days are numbered.
I have no problem with Ted’s funeral mass, BUT I do object to televising the mass. Over the top and appalling, especially considering his sinful life.
“Albany Bishop Howard Hubbard says it is “unfair and imprudent” to conclude that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his girlfriend, Sandra Lee, shouldn’t receive Communion simply because they’re living together.”
Even IF they are sleeping in separate rooms, what about Cuomo’s pro-abortion, and pro-homosexual “marraige” positions. No way can we excuse that away.
Dear Casey Seiler State Editor, the right word for this was not anathema. The right word is heretic, and that is a mortal sin.
I, too, was apalled. I’ve added a page to my blog at http://maronites.wordpress.com that links to Dr Peter’s erudite replies.
I live in the RC diocese of Albany and it’s worse than you can imagine.
Peace and joy!
Do you listen to Pax et Bonum radio, WOPG (words of peace and goodness), AM 1460 and FM 89.5?
The people who run this apostolate are friends of mine, and they sacrificed a lot to bring EWTN Global Catholic Radio to the Albany area.
