The resignation of Bishop Finn | National Catholic Reporter

The resignation of Bishop Finn | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Maybe no champaigne, but a few hallelujiahs are definitely in order. A clericalist's clericalist found no protection in authority - just ruin - as must happen when collegiality is ignored in favor of personal privilege, for the traditionalism of office and the protection of Rigali and Burke. No wonder justice is slow at times. Whether or not this marks a permanent change or just a one time incident will develop with time. I see no female ordination, lay election of bishops or even mandatory adherence to the Dallas norms. Only time will tell here.
