The verdict in Philadelphia

The verdict in Philadelphia by MSW.  MGB: It is not enough to merely punish guilty priests, or to castigate the Church for listening to legal counsel who protect it at any cost (like in these cases).  Clergy must be removed from these decisions.  The real Catholic Spring will be for the laity to seize control of the administrative affairs of the Church.  The only clergy that should have anything to do with such issues are lay deacons (with no promise of celibacy) of both genders who are elected by the faithful rather than appointed by the Bishops.  Let the bishops freely dispense the sacraments, but make them take a vow of poverty.
