Notes from the US Catholic Bishops Meeting in Dallas
US Roman bishops met in Dallas last week to create a non-binding document called the, "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People." A few comments on the proceedings:
1. Outside of the never-ending bishops' cries of, "I'm sorry," they did nothing to hold themselves accountable for the cover-up of priestly criminal acts that would land anyone else in jail. Instead, the bishops have referred the question of their own accountability to an internal committee for six months of study. An "internal committee?" Hmmmmmm...That ought to be real objective!
2. With the devil in their details, it was not widely announced that their "charter" does not apply to 1/3 of the Catholic priests in the US - those who are in religious orders, such as the Jesuits, Franciscans, etc.
3. Bishop James Griffin of Columbus, Ohio, patted himself on the back and reported to his diocese, "Once final approval of the plan is received from the Vatican, the Diocese of Columbus will undertake immediate implementation of the plan." "Final approval." Yes, in Catholic jargon the bishops' "charter" is pending the Latin 'Recognitio' by the pope. I guess this means Bishop Griffin will not protect children and continue to cover for priestly crimes until the pope tells him otherwise.
4. Bishop Thomas Daily of Brooklyn, New York, said, "We're going to be accountable to people." Yeah......Sure......Now that you've picked yourself up off the floor from laughing so hard......
Once again, Jesus Christ has made it plain for all to see that the Roman Catholic Church is NOT His bride, but that the Roman Catholic Church IS Satan's whore. May our prayer for the Roman bishops be from Psalm 140:9b, "LET THE MISCHIEF OF THEIR OWN LIPS COVER THEM."
