This appointment will create a spokesperson and a new level of power and legitimacy for all those lay people who sit in endless committee meetings thinking up exciting new diocesan targets and initiatives that have nothing whatsoever to do with ordinary Catholic lives at a parish level. It is not just an expensive waste of money, but actually threatens to reinforce a semi-detached bureaucracy that has wide-ranging powers but little understanding of real Catholic issues. <br />It has been said that the Bishop of Clifton is not well. He is taking a 4-month sabbatical in the next few months. I am sure we all wish him well. Perhaps he might decide that it is time for him to retire. In which case, the way would be clear for Archbishop Mennini to make another decision every bit as good as his recent appointment in Portsmouth.Caroline Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06684938215164504064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-21395219110196177502012-07-15T17:46:19.527+01:002012-07-15T17:46:19.527+01:00I just... just... spoken words have failed me.I just... just... spoken words have failed me.Dom Bede Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280522308440007254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30490922.post-22316990511357552692012-07-14T22:32:59.665+01:002012-07-14T22:32:59.665+01:00Embarrassing!Embarrassing!Invictus_88https://www.blogger.com/profile/03446202385252763436noreply@blogger.com
