Not a happy day in Hartford | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I am opposed to embryonic stem cell research - not because it takes a life - it does not. It simply does not work unless your goal is to figure out how to take a cell from a donor, clone it and then make a new organ. This is no longer necessary because they can manipulate genes in an adult stem cell to do what is required.
As for this particular appointment - my prediction was that this would show the extent to which the Congregation on (of?) Bishops had been reformed. This is our answer - not yet. The Church is a big ship. It takes time to change course. I suspect that the faithful of Hartford are used to this kind of thing, so there at least won't be any further losses. If the new bishops muffs things up, he will likely be replaced. At least he was not sent to Arlington, Virginia. Then I would be really upset. Even though our bishop is a culture warrior as well, he does not use Communion as a weapon. Its bad enough that Lori is our Metropolitan. At least he is still on a bit of a tight leash.
