So a little bit of a controversy has been brewing in the land of Snow, Hockey, and Snow. For those not from Michigan, I am speaking of Marquette.
Recently the Archbishop of the Marquette Diocese, Bishop Sample, wrote a public letter to Aux. Bishop Gumbleton. For more on the original story choose one of the links below:
- Diocese of Marquette
- Bishop Sample on Bishop Gumbleton.....not in my diocese!
- Bishop Sample of Marquette tells Bishop Gumbleton 'don't come to my diocese
- Fr. Z's Take on the issue...
- Curt Jester's Take...
Now though, the controversy has taken a new twist. The local paper in Marquette, The Mining Journal, has a bunch of comments which attempt to attack Bp. Sample, but in turn end up just showing how clueless most people are about how to analyze socio-political situations. Fr. Z has a link here: What happens when Bishops act like Bishops
I think the worst part is that the paper didn't post anything in support of the decision. But what can you expect from the media. We just have to keep Bp. Sample and the diocese in our prayers. As I stated in the previous post about politics, evil attacks by making Catholics seem like the ones perpetrating the evil, as opposed to being the ones that are fighting it.
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist!"
