VATICAN CITY, April 20, 2010 (
LifeSiteNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI has appointed Bishop Thomas Wenski of Orlando, Florida, to become the next metropolitan archbishop of Miami, which has gained a reputation as a "gay-friendly" diocese for hosting homosexualist events.
In 2004 Wenski won notoriety for his strong pro-life pastoral care after he warned in
a column that pro-abortion Catholics who insist on receiving communion were "boorish and sacrilegious" and comparable to Pontius Pilate. "A practicing Catholic cannot invoke “conscience” to defy or disregard what the Church definitely holds as true – for a practicing Catholic doesn’t create his own truth but forms his conscience according to the Truth."
He insisted that bishops have an obligation to rebuke individuals who gravely contravene Church teaching, and compared the failure to chastise pro-abortion politicians with the failure of some bishops to protect young people from predatory priests. (The 'filth', as Benedict has called the homosexuals preying on the boys.)
Sounds like a good man.
