The Call for Reform | National Catholic Reporter

The Call for Reform | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I totally agree with Bishop Quinn that we need more Patriarchs.  Given that the next pope will be the last, with the locus of the Chair of Peter moving back to the East, this will happen soon.  The selection of Patriarchs can still be done by the local archbishops and the selection of bishops and archbishops can very by patriarchy.  Irregardless, the control of the property of the church should be shifted to the laity.  The rest of the charitable world has discovered the concept of a non-profit corporation  with lay deacons to manage them.  The Church can as well, at least in America.  This will allow the clergy to preach the Gospel rather than deal with the electric bill.
