Ordination Confers Vast Powers, Eh?

Here a reporter for LifeSite News examines the statements of the Canadian Bishops, who speak with "authority" on matters of fact.

Problem is that the Canadian Bishops have made up "their own facts."

I have just heard that the Canadian bishops, in their "God-given authority" can change external reality. Stop looking at me like that. Of course I'm not kidding.

We have it from the president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops himself, so you know it must be true. Archbishop James Weisgerber, the President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has said, unequivocally, that there is "no evidence" that the groups that D&P is funding around the world are plumping to legalise abortion....Except for all the, you know, evidence, an' stuff..

But Bishop Weisgerber wants to let us know that these so-called "facts" are just the machinations of "websites" who have no, ABSOLUTELY NO, authority in the Church to judge these matters.

We in Milwaukee are quite used to claims that Ordination (either to the priesthood, or to the Office of Bishop) confers the license to ignore Church laws and teachings, in addition to conferring the power to make up one's own "facts."

It must be so; the Canadians have confirmed it!
