"There are Stupid Bishops in Every Century"


A line to remember from the president of The Augustinianum Father Robert Dodaro, from his Raymond Arroyo World Over Live interview on  EWTN tonight.

The interview (with several upcoming encore broadcasts noted in the link above) was regarding this new book of Father Dodaro, presenting the erudite responses of five leading Cardinals answering the controversy caused by Cardinal Kaspar in his campaign to single-handedly redefine worthiness for Holy Communion.

A great question by Arroyo was: Are the Synod Fathers simply going to jettison the great legacy on marriage and the family by the Woytila Papacy (e.g. Familiaris Consortio) and that ongoing research headed by the John Paul II Institutes of every continent and in which many of those very Bishops have been thoroughly formed!

Cardinal Burke was on last week defending the Church's unchanging sacramental discipline to answer the same issue. Find that interview live on Father Z's site.
