Do you like your bishop?

[quote name='JP2Iloveyou' date='Feb 27 2005, 03:19 PM'] I totally agree. St. Ignatius of Antioch said that we should be obedient to our bishops in everything. Regardless of whether or not you like your bishop, he is a successor of the Apostles and is due respect. You might legitimately disagree with him, but he is an Apostle, you are not. [/quote]
JP2ILove you, I love you. :cool:

I am pre-dominently considering the Legion of Christ, and he kicked that religious order out of his diocese.

That is all.

AMS has the right to refuse and Bishop for print, he is one.

Archbishop Myers in Newark. He used to be Bishop of Peoria before Bishop Jenky. I worked with his brother, and fromt he stories, he seems like he's a pretty good Bishop and pretty orthodox.

Hope this helps you? By the way cardinals are appointed by the Pope.
Once appointed, cardinals still hold ranks which reflect the origin of the office: episcopal aka bishop, presbyteral aka priest, and diaconal aka deacon. Cardinal bishops include the six titular bishops of the suburban sees of Rome — Ostia, Palestrina, Porto-Santa Rufina, Albano, Velletri-Segni, Frascati, Sabina-Poggio Mirteto and the Eastern Rite Patriarchs. Three of the Cardinal bishops are active full-time in Curia. Cardinal priests, formerly serving in the original 27 parish churches in Rome, are bishops whose dioceses are outside of Rome. Cardinal deacons, who were formerly chosen according to regional divisions of Rome, are titular bishops assigned to full-time service in the Curia. Therefore, each of the cardinals is assigned a titular Church in Rome as a symbol of being members of the clergy of Rome; moreover, each cardinal receives a ring, which as the Holy Father explained, is "a sign of the special spousal bond which now unites them to the Church of Rome, which presides in charity."


"Red is a sign of the dignity of the office of a Cardinal, signifying that you are ready to act with fortitude, even to the point of spilling your blood for the increase of the Christian faith."[i]JP2[/i]

Bishop Peter Jugis of the Charlotte diocese is alright, I guess (he's new).

I really like Bishop Joseph Gosman(I don't know if that spelling is correct) of the Raleigh diocese.

I'm surprised that Bishop Olmstead is not on this list already.

HEY PHOENIX, AZ!!! WAKE UP OUT THERE!! :D




We FINALLY got appointed a new bishop, though he won't be ordained until April. He isn't from our diocese so I don't know too much about him. I have heard that he is really good though! ;)

I wanted to mention that I really like Archbishop Burke, who was already on the list. He is the Burke my name refers to.
