The Bishop here is pretty good all things considering - he is very much involved with his community, travels several hours to do masses in the outskirts of our (quite large) archdiocese whenever he has a free Sunday. He teaches proper orthodox doctrine and his masses at the Cathedral are pretty good for NO. He is also really happy to accomodate FSSP, and goes and does 1962 rite confirmations etc
The territory the city is in recently passed laws enforcing mandatory reporting of confession and he basically wrote a letter saying "piss off we aren't going to break the seal of confession"

He's not super based, quite boomer in his outlook, but he at least doesn't teach any heresy or anything
he is a very much "smell like your sheep" kinda guy, I've talked to him in person all the time. He has a habit of talking to you in a condescending way like you don't know anything at all, but he's pretty nice
ah.
My former bishop was super nice to all of us
Your corner of the Catholic world seems pretty lucky
It also doesn't help that my city is the most radically left pro-gay etc place in the entire country
my uni as well
@Orrbit I'm in the most left-liberal city in the entire state as well, being that the University is here
oh I know that bishop
his homilies are on Sensus Fidelium all the time
nice
great man
God rest his soul
yeah.
the first and last time I ever met the man
but he talked to almost all the students there personally
nice
you have to have a huge pair of balls to call out "the homosexual menace within the church" in a liberal college
damn right you do
There's a really awesome Bishop, very trad, but generally just a great shepherd, but he's in the most far-out, rural, lowest population diocese away from everything
F
Just gotta pray for good young priests I think
In 2004, he publicly expressed criticism of the city's apparent lack of a moral compass, saying that it existed below a religious "moral minimum" and that the city had "virtually no public morality." He specifically cited the popularity of the city's StageQ community theater company, a gay and lesbian theater troupe, as evidence of this view.[3]
Morlino supported the application of Summorum Pontificum in his diocese, and he celebrated the Tridentine Mass in several parishes. He ordered that the tabernacle in all the churches of the diocese should be moved to a central place of prominence. Morlino encouraged the faithful to receive Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling, and he encouraged pastors to enlist exclusively male altar servers. One of his main objectives was to increase vocations to the priesthood in his diocese, and he helped raise 44 million dollars for the endowment fund "Priests for Our Future". The number of seminarians studying for the priesthood increased from 6 to 30 during his episcopate, one of the highest improvements in the United States.[4] Catholics in his diocese had divided opinions of him.
absolute CHAD

The petition says Morlino has had a "corrosive and corrupt influence over the Diocese through his transparent attempts to influence the voting habits of its members." It says that Morlino is a bigot whose attitudes toward the "LGBTQI [typically defined as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and intersex] members of his Diocese ... are nothing short of inhumane."
"His hatred and discrimination are undoubtedly a violation of Christ's admonition to love thy neighbor," it says.
Morlino arranged for a memo to be sent by his vicar general to all local priests, informing them that they may deny Catholic funerals to people who had entered into same-sex public civil unions or marriages "to avoid public scandal of the faithful." The memo advised clergy to consider whether the deceased or the living partner was a "promoter of the 'gay' lifestyle."
BASED ANTI-GAY BISHOP
Nice
If we ever decide to unite all the different views of everyone in the legion under one ideology
Call it National-Vanguardism
And remember I came up with the term
we can get along but to unite our views under one ideology is kind of a long shot
