Bishop Untener gave a homily years ago in which he talked about taking a course in sensitivity. He said he came to realize that not ordaining women hurt not only those women who felt called to the priesthood, but that denying ordination to women hurt every woman. I was present when this homily was given.

It was pretty common knowlege in this diocese as to what Bishop Untener’s views were regarding female ordination.

Thanks for that (name removed by moderator)ut. I know that talk such as this usually stems from truth. It’s just so hard to know how to feel about some comments when you don’t know how they were originally intended.

One could see his point if they wanted too. I think that such radical ideas push people weak in faith farther from the Church though. To say that every woman is hurt by denying ordination is a bit much. It sound’s to me like women who want to be Nuns just aren’t applying themselves hard enough. I also think it’s a beautiful thing to see a person who is happy to be where they are, like a nun who is happy to be a nun serving God not trying to “elevate herself”.

My two cents.
 
I didn’t read every post of this thread, so I apologize if this has been discussed. Has Bp Carlson permitted the TLM in his prior diocese?

There is one listed as being in Salem, South Dakota (Sioux Falls diocese). If you go to Google and type in Latin Masses a comprehensive list of Latin Masses in the US comes up. That’s where the Salem one was listed.

🙂 🙂 🙂

I, too, skipped over many of the posts as the comments seemed to get away from the original topic asking what people knew of Bishop Carlson.

I’m from California but recall pretty well his guest appearance on some program that was broadcast on Catholic Radio - Immaculate Heart Radio stations have me covered 🙂 so I don’t remember if it was an EWTN program for sure, but I think it was. He spoke about the strong vocations they had in Sioux Falls and how he promoted praying the Rosary. He offered Rosary CDs to anyone that wrote to the disocese and I got one. The mysteries are reflected on in a manner to promote vocations of every support, but especially to the priesthood and religous life. I feel I have gotten to know Bishop Carlson by listening to him on the CD and am confident he is a holy man that will be a big help in his new diocese.

Also before he left he gave permission for the old mass to be celebrated in the Cathedral.
 
Well…by my clock, the solemn vespers should be starting soon. I have to say, that regardless of a lot of the things bandied about in this forum (liberal, conservative, etc.) that it’s still a very rare and special moment in the life of a local church when a new bishop is seated. I’m hopeful that Bishop Carlson and the church of Saginaw learn from each other and continue to build off the foundation left from the previous 4 ordinaries of the diocese.
 
today we welcome a new bishop, all in Saginaw welcome him, with open minds
 
Anyone know where I can watch the installation live on the Internet from here in good ol’ South Dakota?

Thanks
 
It was announced today that in our Absence of a bishop here in Sioux Falls, Bishop Samuel Aquila of Fargo, ND has been named our Apostolic Administrator. I hear he’s a wonderful Bishop!
 
Anyone else watching the webcast?

I wish these people would just pipe down…how did they not know which person was the cardinal?

They keep jabbering on and on and on and on…
 
SaintJVMan,

Do you know if the old Mass will be celebrated anytime soon at the Cathedral? Or anywhere else in the Sioux Falls diocese?
 
I just heard him say that he personally will be the Vocations Director in Saginaw. Now, I would say that’s a strong committment! 👍
 
Just in case anyone is wondering…the commentator on the webcast is not from the diocese of saginaw.

I would rather not have people harranguing the lack of catechesis in some of the stuff that’s being said.
 
OK, did the congregation just REALLY cut the Bishop off after the Our Father? He has his work cut out for him.

I’m not sure why…but I know that Bishop Untener generally did not do the “deliver us lord from every evil…”…most priests in the diocese do it.

Before everyone gets up in a tizzy…I think it was an ecumenical thing. If you went anywhere but a cathedral celebration that would not happen.
 
Oh brother…these reporters are painful…

“So…did bishop carlson have to be interviewed before he came to Saginaw?”

It’s the Catholic Church…not a McDonald’s.

I’m not in a “tizzy” 😃 The Bishop appeared kind of shocked and didn’t say anything for a moment. I had a picture in my mind of him taking out a mental list and moving the item labled “GIRM” up a few notches. 😉

Since you are local, it looks like the altar serves double duty as the ambo. Is that right or is it just that they are cramped for space today? Nice cathedral by the way (except the dead tree cross in the middle). Lots of nuns in habit too 👍 along with several middle-age women in suits who might be incognito nuns.

Wasn’t saying you were in a tizzy…but some of the folks around here get kind of particular. Frankly, I didn’t see any of the dreaded “abuses” during that moving liturgy.

The cathedral indeed has an ambo and an altar…they are similar in design (table of the word and table of the eucharist) and in the current set up of the cathedral face each other in a “choral” set up. So the ambo was at the west end of the church and the altar at the east.

Ummm, that’s not true. Our pastor doesn’t do it, our previous pastor didn’t do. The neighboring parishes do not do it. I have not heard the “deliver us Lord from every evil” in years. When asked why, Bishop Untener said it was redundant - that all of that had already been said in the prayer… He said that at the GIRM meeting we had a couple of years ago.
