Governor Brown's Veto | National Catholic Reporter

Governor Brown's Veto | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: What is most needed is to strip the bishops of operating authority over all Church property.  Let mixed boards of directors and parish councils run things for a while, with lay deacons managing day to day operations (meaning they can marry, remarry and be of either gender).  Let the clergy preach the gospel and celebrate the Sacraments and keep their hands out of the till.  It will be harder for predatory priests to move around if the sending parish council is liable for not informing the new parish of why the priest is moving.  It is time for the Church to join the 21st Century.  Given their past conduct, the bishops do not deserve to rule anymore.
