From The Catholic Corner
Imagine being a bishop responsible for the spiritual care of hundreds of thousands of souls spread across the entire world. You're constantly on aeroplanes, celebrating confirmations in South America one week, ordaining priests in Europe the next, while requests pour in from Africa and Asia. You're probably the busiest bishop in the Catholic Church. And you're running out of time. This isn't a hypothetical. This is the reality for the bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X today.
Father Charles Murr, a longtime Vatican insider who lived for years with Cardinal Édouard Gagnon, has watched this situation unfold. And he's asking a question that cuts to the heart of the Church's current turmoil: What happens when a traditionalist movement serving hundreds of thousands of faithful needs more bishops to survive, but Rome keeps saying no?
