Episcopal accountability and the motu proprio | National Catholic Reporter

Episcopal accountability and the motu proprio | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Two thoughts here.  First, if the document does not already do so, something must be done about the Church's lawyers, which have served the bishops and not the faithful.  In the future, they should consider their clients the victims first, the parishes second and the bishops last.  Second, the Vatican needs some skin in the game.  It needs to recognize that it is the employer of the bishops and that its property is at stake.  Its time for a fire sale, at least of all that Italian art that portrays the Holy Family as northern Italian nobility rather than as Arab peasants.  Personally, I would not pay for any of it, but I am sure there are those who would.
