I hope that Tobins words relative to the Nov USCCB mtg and the AL issue really come to pass:  "Tobin hopes that during the bishops' annual meeting in November "we're going to be able to have a frank and fraternal and pastoral discussion on the text."

Frank , fraternal and pastoral have not seemingly been certain bishops response to AL as of this date.

Think Tobin was a great choice and his final thoughts about a cardinal's job sharing with the Pope what is really going on locally....may be truly helpful to the US church....
