Just read a report that Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron is
a candidate for president of the U.S. CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS.
This organization has been hell bent on challenging
Obamacare because of concerns about the insurance covering contraception and
abortion.
The president of this bishop’s conference would be the go-to
person for Pope Francis when it came to promoting the pope’s vision in the
United States.
The problem is that Pope Francis has already come out
strongly about letting issues on contraception and abortion and gay marriage GO
and concentrating on the real mission of the Catholic Church and that is to
help Catholics all around the world in managing their earthly lives and NOT
keep telling them what the hell they should or should not do!
Vigneron has been a disappointment because he is far from
progressive and more like regressive after Benedict and so if he does get
elected, will he go against the will of Pope Francis who is a definite
progressive?
Or will the conference elect someone a little more
progressive (if one exists) and more in tune with the pope?
These are interesting times…
