Former practice was that those were typically converted into auxiliary bishops. However, that was merely convention, and there's absolutely no real tradition or canonical requirement for it. Frankly, I'd rather the Church got made the election of auxiliary and titular bishops a relatively rare thing. I'd also like to beef up what it means to be dean or vicar forane, and make that level of oversight more robust (including having most parish priests in a deanery or vicariate forane live together in a house of religion, as it were; parishes could repurpose or sell off rectories).

Things could have changed since my business with the man but he knew how to play the good ole boys like a pro. It's a dying breed.<br /><br />Is fr F the priest who was put on charge of pastoral outreach to priests? I asked him to reach out to a few struggling priests and I wasn't very edified with the results. In fairness, the job probably burns one out quickly. I don't think I know Fr P. He must either fly under the radar or kept his nose clean!<br /><br />In any event, it is very interesting the new aux were not harvested from the the career track!TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-70188018079606492962016-06-03T14:00:27.896-04:002016-06-03T14:00:27.896-04:00Bp Kennedy turns 75 later this year, and Bp Dooher...Bp Kennedy turns 75 later this year, and Bp Dooher next year.<br /><br />It's interesting that the two non-episcopal regional vicars (Fr Flavin and Fr Petringa) were not elevated.

Prayers for them both!
I recently had an ...Wow! <br /><br />Prayers for them both!<br /><br />I recently had an interaction with Fr Reed about something outrageous that was published in the Pilot and was very impressed with how he handled the matter. He came across as a very honest, humble, kind priest who understood why parents are on top of nonsense that is offers for consumption by people whose duty it is to know better. He is an excellent addition to the bishops of Boston.<br /><br />I have also had numerous interactions with Fr O'Connell but not for many years. He is a fiesty one and my general experience won him the Nick name of sled dog. The hierarchy would make a stupid judgment call and load him up to deliver the goods and deliver them, he did. He pulled a couple of fast ones when the Chancery was really a bunker they were protecting with skullduggery. I believe the squirmishes and some personell changes have softened most of them up a bit. Not sure how he emerged from the battles. Time will tell!<br /><br />A third bishop was named that I wasn't familiar with. Anyone know him?<br /><br />Are some bishops retiring or excardinating? Seems a little top heavy? My sense is Cardinal Sean has been an airport bishop for some time and the inmates were running the asylum. Perhaps these changes reflect better staffing in his absence.<br /><br />TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-57071150148005693872016-06-03T09:13:18.020-04:002016-06-03T09:13:18.020-04:00http://www.thebostonpilot.com/article.asp?ID=17663...http://www.thebostonpilot.com/article.asp?ID=176637Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-75907928645758845622016-06-02T15:42:35.791-04:002016-06-02T15:42:35.791-04:00In effect His Excellency is saying, “Have no fear;...In effect His Excellency is saying, “Have no fear; I’m only here to wet my finger and hold it in the air to determine which way the wind is blowing.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
