One of his latest acts has been to officially turn Catholic Colleges of Education into secular, anti-Catholic Institute of Education. We are now, officially, to have training for teachers to provide a Catholic Education, and any sign that one wants to provide a Catholic education as a Catholic teacher will probably mean penalisation, if admitted. A Natural Law philosophy of Education will be anathema (as it has been in practice for decades) and only those student teachers that espouse good old materialist philosophy will be given the good grades, references, etc. No more training of Catholic teachers. Catholic teachers are to be made extinct (as are Catholic schools). If one doesn't have Catholic teachers, one doesn't have Carholic schools.

A couple of Christmases ago I was at a big Cathedral mass and the Bishop did preach that if 'ya don't use it ya lose it' - he was talking about 'tradition' which doesn't seem to have the special capacities of Cyclorana albaguttata.Our Lady of Good Success-pray for us.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14746510579669229511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-14101041964140866902014-07-02T14:39:30.462+01:002014-07-02T14:39:30.462+01:00I'd go one step further than this.

He's cropped up recently once in a 1970's 'esque' justice and peace initiative that got some air time. <br /><br />Beyond this he is the 'Invisible Man' or should I say the Invisible cardinal. He's been less visible than CMOC (and that's saying something).<br /><br />I remember Cardinal Hume always cropping up on news bulletins, but since then nothing.<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-37242040609392653512014-07-02T11:58:46.690+01:002014-07-02T11:58:46.690+01:00Brilliant Richard!

I'm sure that not all our Bishops would qualify for this, and indeed you do not necessarily have to make a lot of noise to be a good shepherd, but you do have to be seen, heard, and recognised as a spiritual leader, loyal to Christ and His Church.umblepiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455889107917179909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-45456559634891932002014-07-02T10:04:34.100+01:002014-07-02T10:04:34.100+01:00We could combine both ideas by sending a French bi...We could combine both ideas by sending a French bishop: Albert Rouet or Jean-Charles Descubes maybeEccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357168852208499013noreply@blogger.com
