Edward, in a moment you will promise respect and obedience to me, as your Bishop, and to my successors. You will become the Bishop’s Man. This is a profound undertaking for which I thank you. Obedience, from ob-audire, means to listen to. You are promising to listen to what God wants of you, not only interiorly through your own prayer and reflection, but externally through Christ’s Church and what legitimate authority asks of you. This is countercultural, for we live in a world that prizes individualism, innovation and initiative. Yet here again, the Blessed Mother is a perfect example. She shews us how to be obedient. For every day She listened out for God’s Word; She welcomed It when It came, believed It, pondered It and put It into practice.”
PAT SAYS
Without intending to, Philip Egan let it slip what he thinks priests should be
They should become THE BISHOP’S MAN.
Not CHRIST’S MAN.
THE BISHOP’S MAN.
What a disgraceful theology of priesthood Egan & Co have.
But that’s what they expect.
They expect you to be the bishop’s man.
They expect you to say yes, my Lord. Three bags full my Lord.
This was the understanding of priesthood Cahal Daly had when I knew him.
He asked me one day
Do you believe the voice of the bishop is the voice of God?
I answered
Cahal, does that mean that when you break wind, God breaks wind?
RC bishops think they are God.
That’s a big part of what has f..cked up the RCC and continues to f..ck it up.
HAUSCHILD HIMSELF
He strikes me as sincere enough.
For his age, he is very naive?
I think he will probably sucked into the whole current / Egan thing – especially with his Mammy on the £ 100,000 payroll.
I wonder what the sinful life he lived was – the one he confessed in Westminster Cathedral – the one he cried about for two hours?
Will he now be drawn back into all of that?
I think so……
