THE ELEPHANT IN THE CATHOLIC LIVING ROOM: AN ADVENT LAMENT
by Ted Schmidt

For the sake of tradition, you make void the word of God.
Matt.15.7
A bishop who in my judgment enjoys a particularly astute understanding said to me that he believed most bishops accepted the reality of the issues I raised. They understood, furthermore, that these issues needed to be addressed. They simply didn’t want to address them, he said, "on their watch"…This points to a striking failure of leadership.
