Although I could make many comments on many parts of this interivew, I would just like to quote one part of it for now:
I think that when I stand at Communion time, in front of the altar, to distribute Communion, I, like all priests and bishops, I believe, am counting on the individual communicant who’s coming forward to receive Communion, to decide whether he or she is worthy of Communion and is ready to receive it, this Sacrament. I am not there principally as a gatekeeper. I am there as a priest and a celebrant to give forth the Eucharist.

Mein Gott hat gnade… = My God has grace

I too thank God for His grace, and that He alone judges all men by their hearts, and that man does not judge me! Let all those that reject God receive His justice, and all who accept God be welcomed into His arms!

Huh? No, that is what my grandfather says to himself all the time- he tells me it means “My God have mercy”.
 
Looks like the Holy Father made an incredibly solid choice in this archbishop.

Are you cherry picking again? And are saying this based on the quote from the interview selected above? Because we all know that this is not in complete alignment with Ratzinger’s letter sent to Cardinal McCarrick, nor complete alignment with statements in Cardinal Arinze’s interview, or in accordance with Canon 915.

Maybe Pope Benedict disagrees with Cardinal Ratzinger
 
Please note the following segment of this disturbing interview:

*"Ed Cavagnaro: Now, one of your own flock, a Catholic woman from San Francisco, is now one of the most powerful people in all the country. Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic from San Francisco, is the Speaker of the House. She is not only pro-choice, but she would be someone who would be working to try to keep abortion legal. In your view is she less of a Catholic because of that? ***

"Archbishop George Niederauer: Well, I have met on one occasion, with Speaker Pelosi, before she was Speaker Pelosi. It was last year. And I – we’ve – exchanged viewpoints on a number of things. At that time, it was last spring, and it was principally about immigration, because that was very much the hot-button topic of the time. We haven’t had an opportunity to talk about the life issues. I would very much welcome that opportunity, but I don’t believe that I am in a position to say what I understand her stand to be, if I haven’t had a chance to talk to her about it."**

Huh?

Archbishop Niederauer is saying that he doesn’t know what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s abortion position is. Forget for a moment that the interviewer has just told him that Speaker Pelosi is working to keep abortion legal.

Question: has a natural or terrorist catastrophe–somehow unreported–occurred in California? Has an earthquake, tsunami, or explosion cut San Francisco off from all communication with Washington and the rest of the world? How else can we explain the archbishop’s professed ignorance of Pelosi’s support for the legalized murder of unborn children? :confused:

We should pray, not only for Archbishop Niederauer, but also for our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, who appointed the archbishop.

Keep and spread the Faith.

Well, if that were true, the Pope should correct Cardinal Arinze and change Canon 915 while he’s at it.

Guess I missed the reasons why he would do that…

Look…the facts are the facts…Pope Benedict appointed this archbishop…so one would have to assume that he is in agreement with his chosen pastoral style.

:rotfl:You’re kidding right? And the rest of us should eat cakes.
 
I think the Good Bishop has the right idea-everyone is different. He has to lead his flock accordingly. Don’t forget, his boss is still God.😃

No, one does not have to assume this. He’s also taking it on good faith based on recommendation by others.
 
frommi said:
So then you would assert that the Pope made a mistake…that you don’t respect his judgment in appointing bishops?

I thought that you’d be the first to admit that the pope is not infallible in this regard. In fact, if Burke got a red hat, I can hear you already.

You mean like Cardinal Levada…who he handpicked to lead the CDF?

Or how about Archbishop Collins in Toronto (arguably the most high profile north American appointment made to date)…he talks much the same way as Abp. Nierdauer?

As far as Abp. Burke…I could care less if he were named a ‘cardinal’…that’s about as significant as being named ‘monsignor’.

Ok Mr. Pharisee, then how do you explain this?

When did I become a pharisee? That’s new.

Here’s what I’m wondering…what in this statement you have linked to proves anything? It tells us nothing we didn’t know before.

And furthermore…I haven’t seen any evidence that Abp. Nierdauer would disagree with the statement.

So…what’s your point?
