I'm not sure I want someone who has, so recently, knowingly and willfully lied to a victim of abuse, presumably to try to cover it up or limit the fallout of the scandal. I want a bishop who is uncompromising with the truth and who denounces the despicable crime of abuse of children by clergy completely and without prevarication.

In any event let us pray for a traditionalist. Oremus CARLO

I pray for the success of the best candidate for the current situation and problems and for the future of the Catholic Church. He may not necessarily be a traditionalist in Carlo's sense.

Damian Thompson I must be careful what I say about this subject, but the search for a successor to Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor is taking an awfully long time, isn't it? As Mandrake revealed recently, a terna (official list) of Archbishop Vincent Nichols, Archbishop Peter Smith and Bishop Arthur Roche has been submitted to Rome by the Nuncio. But I gather that more than one terna has been rejected. Link Bishop Roche has just completed the major task of overseeing the new translation of the Mass. I wonder if the long awaited announcement was delayed so he could complete the task?

Administrator Posts: 5,393 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: September 26, 2006	Fr Finigan has drawn attention to Bishop O'Donovan's interview with Zenit which concludes: P.O'D The principle challenge, from which many of the other challenges spring, is the rejection of obedience in the Church, due to the modern emergence of a secularist-minded people. The idea of obedience and humility toward God's truth are totally alien to many in this age of assertive individualism. During this time of relativism we need all Catholics to be enthusiasts for the beauty, goodness and truth of the deposit of faith. To avail ourselves of the riches of God's doctrine we must not approach it with the attitude of consumers, who pick and choose according to taste and personal comfort. We must allow the word of God to judge and challenge us, and sometimes this is hard and uncomfortable. I am convinced that we will only have a Catholic renewal in this country if clergy and laity, including the bishops, wholeheartedly accept obedience to the fullness of doctrinal, moral and liturgical truth as entrusted to, and protected by, the Successor of St. Peter. Full interview According to Damian, there is an article in this week's Bitter Pill rather less than complementary about the bishop Could Ttony's rumour be true?
