**Abortion Laws “Protect” Bishop from Rosary Praying Catholics

**Bishop Patrick J. McGrath presides over the Catholic diocese of San Jose, California, located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. This is, arguably, one of the most liberal areas in the United States. Thus, one would presuppose that a faithful Catholic bishop in this locale would be kept very busy speaking out on the great moral conflicts dividing our country and infecting the spiritual lives of Catholics. The violations of the natural law in this area such as abortion, homosexual “marriage,” and the gruesome experimentation on human embryos and aborted babies, including the euphemistically mislabeled “Stem Cell research” are notorious. The local political and media establishments regularly engage in the justification of these evils. Thus, one would believe the bishop of the San Jose diocese would have ample opportunity to publicly exercise his teaching office on these matters.

So, then, what does the bishop do to keep busy? It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what is important to his faithful.

Retirement.

There’s probably something about his age in some biography.

But, even so, his departure is no guarantee that his successor will be any different.
 
Patrick J. McGrath was born in Dublin on July 11, 1945. His early education was in Ireland in schools operated by the Christian Brothers and the Marist Brothers. He attended St. John’s College, seminary of the diocese of Waterford, and was ordained for the Archdiocese of San Francisco on June 7, 1970.

Following ordination, Father McGrath was named associate pastor of St. Anne’s church in San Francisco where he remained for three years. After a brief assignment at the archdiocesan tribunal, he pursued doctoral studies at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome.

In 1979 he was named Vice-Officialis and later Officialis of the archdiocesan tribunal. He was serving in that capacity and as pastor of St. Mary’s Cathedral when he was named Auxiliary Bishop of San Francisco on December 6, 1988.

So he’ll be 60 this summer, with 15 years to go until retirement. . .
 
This is sad and disturbing. Will this issue go on to Rome now?

Only if some enterprising Catholics mail copies of the article to the nuncio AND the Congregation of Bishops in Rome. It wouldn’t hurt to also mail a copy to the discastery which covers Family Life.
 
SEND THE LETTER SOON. Wow this Bishop seems to need alot of prayers, I hear a St. Jude novena coming on! Whose with me?
