Bp Finn Must Go

Bp Finn Must Go by MSW.  MGB: The problem is not simply their misbehavior in this scandal but the entire status quo which turns the property of the faithful to the personal fiefdom of the bishop.  It is time to convert both management and ownership of all Church property to non-profit corporate models and impose poverty on all of our shepherds.  At the very least, it will keep the wrong kind of people out of the Bishop's Chair.  The prosecutions should be expanded beyond Finn to as many bishops as it takes to get them to turn over the loot they have kept for so long.  This cannot be an isolated case, given the other recent events in Philadelphia.  The bishops listen too much to their lawyers, who serve the bishops rather than the Church as a whole.  As long as the bishops claim to be the Church, in the same way Louis XIV claimed to be the State - such situations will be endemic.   I for one have had enough - but I am not the one who should leave.  While there are those who follow the protestant impulse and do so, I urge those disgusted by the bishops to stay and fight, whether the issue is conscience protection for hierarchs over employees or sexual abuse, the fight is exactly the same.
