The next thing you know people will be saying that Pope Benedict XVI should resign because he was a member of the Hitler Youth.[/quote] oh wait, they already did that! [quote name='Tinkerlina' post='1772423' date='Feb 4 2009, 07:30 PM']That is wrong. My point is not that he is less wrong, but that the Vatican can't possibly account for every bishop all the time[/quote] when they have people writing them letters about their bishops, yes, i believe that the Vatican can/could account for every bishop. and considering the ad limina visits every 2 years (or is it 5 years?) they certainly can account for every bishop.

THe Ad Limina is every 5 years, but I heard something about it changed recently, not quite sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean that the issue with Williamson was sooo super publicized that they probably acted quicker. Do we know for sure that the Vatican hasn't warned/disciplined other bishops? Maybe you just wouldn't hear about it as much. I'm not saying this is the case I honestly don't know. -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
