He is no friend of the TLM, or Novus Ordo in Latin. His own masses have involved guitars and drums (Cafe Catholica), he likes to casually greet the crowd at the opening prayer, and wander the aisle during his homilies. While he does seem to adhere to many of the liturgical rubrics, he has done nothing to stem the <B>massive</B> abuse of the use of extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion.<BR/><BR/>Outside of the liturgy, he has shown little visible leadership, and he currently permits a fallen away Catholic pro-abortion politician (Rick Noriega) to sit on the board of Catholic Charities, and a member of the board of Planned Parenthood (Carol Alvarado) to scandalously hold herself out as a good Catholic and recieve communion. He had no qualms about a Catholic businessman approving the sale of a property by Sterling Bank for the purpose of murdering babies. A bishop in Austria has stated that a man there is automatically excommunicated for similar commerce with evil.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if we told him that most of the babies murdered at Planned Parenthood are illegal immigrants he might take more notice of the carnage which occurs within a mile of his chancery, about 6000 a year by last reports. <BR/><BR/>Well the new abortuary courtesy of Sterling Bank and their Catholic president is well away from the Chancery, it's actually not too far from his own residence and across the freeway from the Catholic Charismatic Center... perhaps the new location will be more convenient for his excellency to stop by and pray for the dieing babies.<BR/><BR/>So, no. I don't share your optimism.<BR/><BR/>MattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748093918886373656noreply@blogger.com
