Catholic Bishop says to keep weddings in church

[Old and In the Way]

7. I expect more of this stuff going forward.

It's the Republicanisation of the Church. They've recaptured the Bishop-class and their views are reflected by people like Bill O'Donohue. They want their pre-liberalised Church back. The world has changed, but they've stayed faithful to the doctrinaire rigidity of pre-Vatican Council ii. They are social conservatives with a vengeance. They want their social order back, the secrecy and the community power back. But, like their counterparts in politics, they may win their battle...but they cannot win the war. The rewards for their demands to return to a traditional society ordered in pre-1960 values will be fewer attendees at Mass and a lot more practicing lapsed Catholics. Have at it, guys.
