Msgr. John Tracy Ellis on selecting bishops in the US
Acknowledging the rights of the Supreme Pontiff is Catholic political correctness. It's an irony warning that I never bother with because I don't have to. Ellis makes clear that there is no eternal way to create bishops, it exists in a culture context and that nepotism has been replaced by seminary ties. Same stuff, different day and not a justification for status quo Medievalism. Note, Pontiffs do not have rights, they have powers - and only the power we give them.
