Azriel Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Do people just not like me, or am I not clear enough? If you want to debate the man, go to debate - this thread is not about his orthodoxy. Please read my previous posts before I start getting delete happy. Geez. You try to be a friendly mod.

photosynthesis Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 we love you! It does seem that his orthodoxy does have relation to the topic in question though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fides_et_Ratio Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 ^ agreed. A person's views/beliefs affect who they are, and how they act. Bishop Gumbleton's "coming out" (as it were) with this information in this manner could legitimately be argued as propaganda for his questionable statements regarding the Church. IF what the Bishop told the Post was true, then that's sad, yes, but his manner of relaying this information to the public seems somewhat suspect. However, if Azriel, you still think this is more of a debate table topic, then I will refrain from further posting until the thread is moved to its proper forum. Either way, this Bishop (and all Bishops, really) are in need of our prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azriel Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The thread needn't be moved - there is another one in debate now. Thank you for respecting me on this one guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It is horrible when something like this happens, but I think repealing Ohio laws restricting people from sueing the Church would definately be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 [quote name='Fides_et_Ratio' date='Jan 11 2006, 09:03 AM']public media is a strange choice for a bishop [right][snapback]852744[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Not if it reverses the whalloping we've been getting in the public media all these years about coverups. Maybe now the bishops will get some of the "sympathy factor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The members of the Church [i]who committed these crimes[/i] are not paying. The recent push for amendments would allow people to sue the [i]Diocese[/i] (collection money) for things that happened up to 50 years ago. Many of the priests who committed these crimes are dead. All that would result is our Diocese closing even more schools and parishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
