Bishop Morris's letter (THE LETTER ITSELF IS IN THIS POST)... (Main Forum)

This is a replay of St Mary's South Brisbane all over again. Kick out a congregation of a thousand all to please the insecurities of one individual. To Hell with the spiritual needs of the great majority of the baptised.

The taliban element in the lay church and the hierarchy will feel mighty pleased with this. As for me I only hope that when they have to report to Almighty God about this they may have to wear the punishment for an eternity. This is the absolute pits that the Holy Roman Catholic Church has now descended to.

Where are all the decent middle of the road bishops of Australia? Do you men take this sort of thing lying down? Where are your protests from the highest belltowers at the injustice that is involved here? If you cower as gutless wimps in the face of this sort of sell out of the entire institution to this taliban element within Catholicism you also will deserve the sort of condemnation that Christ reserved for the Pharisees. Do you honestly believe this is what Christ came into the world to teach — this constant appeasement and stroking of the taliban and insecure elements in the flock? Where are your consciences, where is your manliness, where are your gonads? Why do you allow these bullies to stamp on our faces and steal the Church that was built by the blood, sweat and sacrifices of the forebears of the 86% who have now drifted out the doors while this constant, constant appeasement of the 5% remnant element goes on?
