The Vatican has pulled the rug out from under an already reeling episcopacy in the US with this demand that they not vote on even a toothless Code of Conduct for Bishops. Now they are starting a day of prayer. "We'll need it!" One bishop wrote me.

@Pontifex Papa, cura te ipsum.

[Edward Peters @canonlaw]

While Rome has (needlessly but not illegally per Canon 455) forbidden US bishops from adopting NATIONAL standards for episcopal accountability, nothing prevents individual bishops from presenting PERSONAL provisions for same, whereupon other bishops might choose to copy them.

@RaymondArroyo The "lavender mafia" strikes again and will continue to do so until Francis sees the light and kicks out Forte and company and heeds Abp. Vigano's call.

The Vatican, today, nixed the US Bishops planned vote on very reasonable, toothless protocols to address sex abuse by bishops. What is your reaction?

[Victor Melendez @coamo]

@StefMNicholas All of the above...

As I noted in my book The Political Pope, Moore recognized Bergoglio's deviousness early on, praising him for his ideological head fakes as archbishop of Buenos Aires and his "long game."

Mike Pompeo has spent years crafting an image as a tough straight-talker. But his trip to Saudi Arabia, where he sat smiling with royal leaders suspected of involvement in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, offered a different picture. https://t.co/egYfa2lBQc

When was the last time you met a priest who was a doctrinal hard liner -- who was bashing people over the head with doctrine? In fact if there is a problem it is just the opposite –priests and people both–who are fluffernutter Catholics. https://t.co/z5xvhogwJD
