Do you remember me from the VOTF National Conference in Providence? We had some drinks
after Father McBrien’s talk. It turned out that Father Reissmann (if that’s the way he spells his name)
and I were neighbors on New York’s upper West Side.

Bishop Robinson will speak on Saturday at Fairfield University, so I will definitely go to hear him. I have read his recent book and was delighted that at least one bishop had the courage and integrity to address the situation. Among other things, the Church has given American Catholics two big slaps in the face with the appointment of Cardinal Law as pastor of Santa Maria Maggiore

(Bishop Robinson Conversation) posted by Sister Maureen Paul Turlish, 17.05.2008, 05:23 Bishop Robinson opens his United States tour with tonight's talk at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Australian Bishops' Conference has written to him strongly suggesting that he cancel his tour and Cardinal Archbishop Roger Mahony of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California has seen fit to give him a dressing down in a formal letter telling him he does not have "permission" to speak in the archdiocese. Of course, Mahony's permission is not needed. I admire Bishop Robinson for his courage in addressing this continuing problem, this scourge on our church. The People of God in the United States have been waiting for years for a member of the hierarchy to have the courage to really address the issues and it is ironic that it is an archbishop from "down under" that has risen to the task. God bless you Bishop Geoffrey Robinson. See you this evening.
