Do not be afraid…I told myself I wouldn’t get involved in this thread because I’m getting vibes that to question is to unnecessarily stir the pot. But, that’s not my intention. (Hey, I think all this recent conversation supports that intent matters.) I am not trying to be deliberately obtuse. At worst, it just means I’m slow.
My " dubia"
is the following: does the practice among bishops to pick up a phone or make a Skype call to speak to any of the bishops who have understood exist? If Argentine Bishops have understood and they are being close to their priests,can t the ones who have doubts communicate with any of those who understood " internationally"?And this is perfectly understandable,TCEL.
True. I’m discouraged that I already have spring fever. Winter is not my cup of tea.
Wow. Good point to ponder! I will get slammed for this but I think the problem is with the Bishops not the Pope. (And no these Cardinals aren’t included here.
My " dubia"
And I am asking seriously.
This isn’ t a case of competing,so wouldn’t t this be spountaneous and easier?
What impedes a bishop from calling a friend abroad and ask about the situation they cannot grasp,/ understand/ or have a problem with?Code:If Argentine Bishops have understood and they are being close to their priests,can t the ones who have doubts communicate with any of those who understood " internationally"?
Does anyone know?
)The ones who are allowing practices the Church never approved of in the first place were just lying in wait for ANY chance to promote their agendas.

Peace on earth.
That is uncomfortable. …Hope you get better soon.
Oh, thank you for the well-wishes! “Spring fever” is an expression meaning one can’t wait for spring. I’m tired of the short days and cold weather. It’s unusual for me to feel this way so early in winter.
Oh!! I thought it was an allergy,hay fever…I guess.
me too!Maybe … I don’t know. Bishops get a bad rap sometimes.
Symptoms include gazing at empty planters, daydreaming about the pool, and wishing the infernal (and seemingly eternal) northern slope shadow would go away.
What makes you think this doesn’t happen?
I agree fully:thumbsup:
How are these Bishops being disobedient? They have a huge responsibility making sure their priests are following the teachings of the Catholic Church. If priests are coming to them with questions about AL the Bishops need to be sure there is no confusion and they answering correctly their priests are presenting. I applaud the Bishops for the action they took and I hope they get the clarification they are requesting.Wow. Good point to ponder! I will get slammed for this but I think the problem is with the Bishops not the Pope. (And no these Cardinals aren’t included here.
Now the ONLY thing that has me concerned is that these Bishops aren’t being called on their disobedience to the Church teachings. I know even JPII allowed a LOT (the whole sex abuse scandal) to be hidden under the rug. But shouldn’t we have learned from that mistake?
Exactly. So why would fin suggest that even mentioning the possibility that a Cardinal might also be the target of fraternal suggestion is somehow disrespectful?
They are not being disobedient. But I don’t know that they are really confused about AL. I think that they think AL is wrong and they are expressing their discontent with (and perhaps dissent from) that document. They can do that, and the Pope is perfectly well equipped to deal with it.
