A nice article from Amy Wellborn today about an up and coming bishop who apparently is “shepherding”…
“…Bishop Finn said that whatever adult education programs are developed after Sasso’s study, they should be sensitive to the busy lives lay Catholics lead, and be portable to parishes in the diocese…”
“…Bishop Finn said the adult education program will have components that are short in duration, and will be deeply rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, both of which encompass 2,000 years of church tradition…”
Of course what everyone’s all blogged-up about is the fact that Bishop Finn has dropped the columns of Fr. Richard McBrien from the diocesan paper.
Father McBrien likes to stir the pot," Bishop Finn said. "He approaches things with a certain skepticism and cynicism. You can get that in a lot of places, so go get it somewhere else.
“We need clear expressions of the meaning of faith, why we believe and how we can inspire each other,” he said. “We’ve got to give people hope and direction, and we don’t have a lot of time and space (in the newspaper) to do that. I think we can do a whole lot better.”

It has been non stop working to change the things that have slid down the slippery slope here. 48 hours after he took the helm…heads ROLLED! He has already held the first EVER Corpus Christi procession in downtown kc. Two conferences that were packed with great speakers and teaching that is bar non Catholic with a capital “C:”
No more McBrien…now his spot is filled with solid columns from great apologist’s each week. And not one blathering Editors column to be found…hee! Haw! Loving it!
