New bishop for Richmond
The Richmond diocese, which suffered long under the sceptre of a 'progressivist' bishop, got a new shepherd today, Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo. DiLorenzo sent mixed messages to the media last week, indicating that, even if he's no Michael Sheridan, he's certainly a step up from his predecessor. Richmond was hard hit by the sex scandals, and DiLorenzo's predecessor did little to help things, and he gave homosexual activists and rampant ecumenists a little too much play in the governance of his diocese. DiLorenzo, on the other hand, even if he is reluctant to step into the Kerry-and-communion feeding frenzy, he certainly seems to be towing the line when it comes to Church teachings on abortion and homosexuality. Again, he's no Bishop Sheridan. But we're working on the 'incremental approach'; to quote DiLorenzo himself in the latter article, "you have to figure out which [episcopal] candidate and his platform do the least amount of evil."
