Global Diocese??? (Main Forum)

R.L.Walters [USA] said – “Helen - In our diocese any mention of Vatican II brings stares and hurtful comments. Any thoughts of Paul's message of "neither male nor female" are out of the question .. My wife and I have two wonderful and bright daughters .. but neither will set foot inside a Catholic Church. We still attend Mass, but each Sunday it a little harder knowing the paradigm of doctrine no longer fits the changing cosmology of our universe. Jesus has already given us the kingdom and our future shared divinity has been assured.”

HELEN responded – “Your Diocese sounds like mine. I wonder if, in fact, we are part of one Global Diocese and that we are only lulled into believing that we belong to a Diocese in a geographical location to keep us quiet!!”

Global Diocese????!! Whatever happened to the “Bishop of the Universe” – Chris Toohey, former Bishop of Wilcannia-Forbes in western New South Wales?

Where is MY Bishop [Archbishop]? I don’t know. He never talks to me and I never talk with him – not in any deep and meaningful way. E-mail? I tried that a few times with my PP – using the Email Address that he provided in the Parish Bulletin. But such “posts” are not en-couraged. They are dis-couraged. We are reminded of the “good old days” before Vatican Council II [1962-65] when the Laity were expected to “pray up, pay up and shut up”!

We are “growing closer and closer APART” – around the Globe and within the Cosmos.

Whatever happened to the Cosmic Body of Christ’s Incarnation – and of OUR incarnation?
