More on excommunicated bishops


Pope Benedict XVI at Auschwitz concentration camp,May 28, 2006

An even fuller explanation of that, in fairly accessible language, can be found here.OHCARCC

  1. Reading news reports from all over the world, everyone is outraged. Jewish people are hurt and offended. Time will tell how the pope will fix this mess. I'm very disappointed that the Vatican is so silent.
