How To Select Bishops? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It is time to abandon the whole process.  Papal selection was needed when the alternative was the selection by kings.  In the 21st century, the tierna should be assembled by lay permanent deacons who administer each parish and the clergy who celebrate the sacraments there, with the final choice made by  people themselves.  Much of the non-sense that goes on in the name of the Church would be avoided if the Holy Spirit was allowed to speak through all of our hearts rather than the politicians of Rome.  BTW, the property in each diocese must also be returned to the people and not held by the bishop.
