His Grace is one of the good ones!
From Fr Z's Blog
The cruel Francis’ legacy document – his very own Plessy v. Ferguson – Traditionis custodes is calling forth what many reasonable people think are unnecessary statements from dioceses. Some are really bad, but that is to be expected given those certain bishops. Some, neutral. Some rather wry.
What about the Archdiocese of Portland? Archbishop Sample – a friend of many years – is an accomplished canonist.
Note two things. The total lack of front-loaded blah blah, faux pastoral moaning and cooing of self-justification. Next, the key canons he cites at the top, 14 and 87.
This on the eve of the USCCB meeting.
My hope is that Archbp. Sample will, soon, celebrate a Pontifical Mass at the Throne.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
