eagle_eye222001 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 [quote name='jkaands' date='14 October 2009 - 10:21 PM' timestamp='1255573260' post='1985643'] What was the Bishop going to talk about, or did anyone bother to find out? [/quote] [quote] I realize that these were not the topics upon which Bishop Gumbleton was planning to speak. However, I was concerned about his well-known and public stature and position on these issues and my inability to keep these matters from coming up in discussion. In order that no one becomes confused, everyone under my pastoral care must receive clear teaching on these important doctrines.[/quote] If you click on the link to the article, you can find an article where I believe the bishop was going to talk about nuclear arms or something like that.

[/quote] You mean the Saint who was a member of the armies of the Roman Emperor Diocletian who supposedly slew a dragon in the deserts of North Africa? Saved a princess whose turn had come to be offered for sacrifice? All that stuff? Yeah, heard of him more than a few times; among other things the Patron Saint of England.

He may yet suffer for his chivalric interference as many champions do.
