How then can we reconcile this generosity of spirit with the reaction of our Catholic hierarchy to the Supreme Court decision on same-*** marriage?

Western Massachusetts Catholics: OK, what is the MCC, really?

http://westernmassachusettscatholics.blogspot.com/2009/06/ok-what-is-mcc-really.html

OK, what is the MCC, really? In the last installment we considered what the MCC (Massachusetts Catholic Conference) was all about, according to the bishops and Attorney Saunders, chief lobbyist. Now let's take a closer look. In fact, one searches in vain for anyone making policy for the MCC, other than the bishops. Since there are none, it's a safe bet that the MCC is simply an alter ego of the bishops. For example, I've been in this state attending Catholic churches for most of my life, and I don't reca...

Western Massachusetts Catholics: Doctrinal Basis for Parish Councils

http://westernmassachusettscatholics.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-fy2008-and-fy2009-matter-part-6.html

Doctrinal Basis for Parish Councils. We've been working toward examining the Bishop's guidelines for parish councils, and this is the post that does it. People sometimes write in to this blog and ask "what's up? With Brody. After graduating from Tufts with a double major in history and political science, he's been in New Orleans for quite a while now, as a teacher in low-income areas. The program is Teach For America. Stay tuned for more information about what Brody is up to. Back to the topic:. In his c...

Western Massachusetts Catholics: Abernathy v. Sisters of St. Mary's (1969)

http://westernmassachusettscatholics.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-bishops-are-wrong-part-iv.html

Abernathy v. Sisters of St. Mary's (1969). Why The Bishops Are Wrong, Part IV. The more I delve into charitable immunity, the more curious it becomes. In coming posts we'll visit the great states of Arkansas and Virginia to consider some of the consequences of the charitable immunity doctrine. But, in this section, I present the gist of the Abernathy decision (Missouri). Shows Picher, in Maine, found that the church's protection under charitable immunity did not extend to intentional acts.

Western Massachusetts Catholics: Bishops' Position on Abuse Bill

http://westernmassachusettscatholics.blogspot.com/2009/06/bishops-position-on-abuse-bill.html

Bishops' Position on Abuse Bill. The following is the official position of the Catholic bishops of Massachusetts on Bill 1592, the previous version of Bill 1523. The bills are similar but not identical. For example, language has been inserted in the most recent version to counter the previous complaints of the bishops about the attempts to hold corporations or other institutions responsible for the failure of a mandated reporter (an employee) to file a report. Date: February 26, 2008. Eliminating filing ...

Western Massachusetts Catholics: The Ideals of the Parish Council

http://westernmassachusettscatholics.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-fy2008-and-fy2009-matter-part-7.html

The Ideals of the Parish Council. The last post was quite long, but from it we extract the kernel; according to Bishop McDonnell:".it is my wish and mandate that every parish of the diocese have a viable, working and dedicated Parish Pastoral Council.". Why are they so important? And, what makes them so special? Wow It all sounds so.democratic? Indeed, the more you look into church doctrine, the more you find that lay equality, debate, free speech and collaboration are not just frills; they are supposed ...

As I Recall: Why I Wrote About The 8.5 Million Dollar Settlement. It's official: ebooks are shaping up as the next form of serious scholarship (joining vampire chronicles and celebrity cookbooks). I know this because of my other life as paperhanger/scholar. This has encouraged some thoughts about this blog. Would it not be timely and smart to repackage this study as an ebook? Actually, they won't, by and large. Polishing a piece of prose to a shine is no mean accomplishment. Sending it forth is a...A: Th...
