Lead Reflection: An open letter of support to Bishop Morris from Judith Lynch (Main Forum)

by kaythegardener, OREGON, USA, Wednesday, May 18, 2011, 14:54 (764 days ago) @ Robert

The good Bishop's point about Catholics worshipping in Anglican, etc churches on Sundays when an RC priest is not available, is merely applying to the wide open lands of Australia WHAT THE VATICAN CURIA HAD ALREADY APPROVED OF FOR CERTAIN DIOCESES IN AFRICA, under similar circumstances!!

So how can that practise be wrong and the Bishop be criticized by Rome for it???

Same way that I guess the Curia felt that the mandated reporting of CSA criminals in Australia, the USA, etc to the secular authorities was an allowable dispensation from "pontifical secrecy" that should not have been applied to the universal church??

Well, since this so-called "pontifical secrecy" led directly to much more EVIL, it was morally wrong decision and policy...
AND IT WAS AN EXAMPLE WHERE THE POPE AND THE CURIA WERE NOT GUIDED BY THEIR CONSCIENCES TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL...
They were asleep at the wheel and the Barque of Peter ran into the shallows and got hung up!
