McBrien, again.

It seems that the famous dissenter, "Father" McBrien, is very upset that the Apostolic visitors representing the Vatican, in it's two ongoing investigations of the LCWR will be required to take an oath stating that they are loyal to the magisterium and disciplines of the church.

He believes that it will "skew" the results of the visitation in one direction, and that that is unfortunate.

Well, yes it will. that's the point. It will mean that the evaluations of the two investigations will be conducted in accordance with the norms of the Church, by people who actually are Catholic. And yes, it will be unfortunate for those whose "dissent" has gone beyond the limits of the faith, into practicing non-christian spiritual beliefs, into teaching heresy, into rebellion against the church Christ founded, while claiming all the legal and financial advantages of being members of the church.

I have high hopes for these investigations, fueled by the whining, writhing and complaints.

Face it--if you spank a child, they do not say how fair it was and how good it was for them. they whine and cry.
