As usual, Fr Tom Reese has given another superb article with keen insights. Indeed, a free and professional press is a service to the Church. 

"The vote for chair-elect of the USCCB Committee on International Justice and Peace was the most revelatory of the current makeup of the conference membership. Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the U.S. Archdiocese for Military Services beat out Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego for chair by a vote of 127-88. Moderate bishops (there are very few liberal bishops) voted for McElroy and the conservatives voted for Broglio."

Could there be more deplorable petty behavior on the part of the bishops who voted for Broglio of the Military Archdiocese?  A brother bishop encourages them to be more forth coming with Pope Francis' pastoral plan to renew the church, and they toss him off for a conservative. 

Virus of polarization - only one that it works for is the one who wants our souls.
