Is there such a process by which the sense of the faithful, when so brutally and consistently abused, can exercise some level of accountability? There is a process, rarely used (why is that?), for groups of bishops to depose a wayward bishop - but is that possible in Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833345391579579562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-24477075137852390132020-10-27T08:43:17.473+00:002020-10-27T08:43:17.473+00:00Stephen, when the alternative to protest (a loaded...Stephen, when the alternative to protest (a loaded word), or more accurately, disagreement, is idolatry and homosexualism, what do you suggest?Michael Leahyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044897013849386271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-91291629855529808652020-10-27T05:33:00.414+00:002020-10-27T05:33:00.414+00:00Dear Fr.

It is the Pope who is making that "official" by refusing to officially clarify what he says about some of the most grave moral and doctrinal issues of out day.
