Bishop John Arnold - "A Nasty Little Bully"
Pat Buckley has posted a letter from a Salford priest giving the low down on what is going on in that diocese. I think it is really important because it is a report from the diocese, but also because if you pay attention to communications from the CCBEW you would think Bishop Arnold is the best bishop in the country! This despite the fact he is clearly seriously at odds with much of the Catholic faith and overly concerned with issues best described as mission creep. He advised the Catenian Association to drop "practicing Catholic" from its statutes and is obsessed with CAFOD and climate change, issues which might seem trendy, but in reality only diminish the Gospel. Arnold is chairman of CAFOD and approved the appointment of the current director who is clearly at odds with Catholic teaching . He also loves an "LGBTQI+ Mass" - more on some of that stuff here . To me he epitomises so many of the bishops: he likes the trappings and power but is very uncomfortable wit
uh boy. So much wrong, so much wrong. Men who are attracted to the priesthood for all the wrong reasons. These flamers make the worst priests. I remember one well in our parish, he ran the "AIDS ministry" and drove a convertible sports car and wore civvies. I approached him one day when we had a family crisis. You never saw such dead eyes. He was totally disinterested. What do you expect when you have men who join the Gay Boys Club for the travel and dining and all the rent boys you can get. Not to mention foreign boys too!
ReplyDeleteGod deliver us from such men.
Of course this is silly, as the papal galero is red, as the four previous popes show:
