One of our readers sent me this link to the Wikipedia page on Archbishop Chaput which he thought might be of interest to Catholica readers. Chaput seems to be one of these bishops in the world cut from the Pell mould and I understand his visit to Australia that led to this side-visit to "investigate" Bishop Bill Morris was largely the work of George Pell. Big George has a funny habit of inviting the wierd ones to Australia as evidenced by the recent invitation to one Raymond Burke clowning around in a cappa magna for the taliban sector of Catholicism in this country.

I think the vast majority of Catholics would once have had no objections to providing a special place in our Catholic community for people fond of the Latin Mass and particular liturgies and devotions that are not of general interest to the mainstream. What I am picking up these days is that the mainstream is today beginning to get very jacked off at this constant, constant bending over backwards to appease those minority elements — and not offerong, seemingly even deliberately, any spiritual support whatsoever in encouragement to the mainstream of the baptised. This behaviour on the part of our episcopal leaders who have been encouraging of this behaviour is now deeply divisive within the whole Catholic community.
