But no go. From what I hear, Card. Ambrozic is ailing. As for Oulette, VIS just reported that on Oct. 18 he had a "separate audience" w/B16. Interesting, just a few days prior to when the CCCB convene. Might have a post up on the matter before Canada's Magic Circle commences it's bureaucracy fest.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9673280.post-63297169767458591882010-10-22T00:54:16.588-05:002010-10-22T00:54:16.588-05:00TH2, Hopefully with Cardinal Ouellet in charge of ...TH2, Hopefully with Cardinal Ouellet in charge of the Congregation of Bishops some of the newer Bishops will be better.<br /><br />Given that Collins predicessor Cardinal Ambrozic turned 80 this year, it would have been logical to expect Collins would be made a cardinal. McCarrack just turned 80 so now Wuerl is being made a Cardinal as was expected. Certain diocese traditionally have a Cardinal at the head. The exception is if the retired Cardinal is under 80, like Dolan's predicessor Egan (2012 is when Dolan will probably get the red hat). I wonder if Ouellet had any input in his not getting the red hat.<br /><br />The more I see & hear, the more I honestly think many of the CCCB gang are following in the footsteps of Wolsey. Too bad they don't jump ship so Papa Benedetto can appoint some Catholic Bishops to take their place.<br /><br />The USCCB meets in Nov. New leadership will be elected at the meeting. I can almost guarentee you that some of the good ones, like Finn & Morlino, will be passed over.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9673280.post-60081016736233334672010-10-21T02:39:13.587-05:002010-10-21T02:39:13.587-05:00Writing a letter to Collins will not work.

Perhaps there is a reason why B16 did not appoint him a Cardinal today, as there was some speculation he might be.<br /><br />Really bad up here, Al. I mean, really bad. CCCB convening next week... And it will be the same bureaucratic, politically correct BS.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.com
