U.S. Bishops Told Not To Support —
(Continued from page 1)
declaration did not, however, take a stand on the
ordination of women to the diaconate.
In the United States, a major group promoting women
priests is the Women’s Ordination Conference and it
recently completed a four-year dialogue with an ad hoc
committee of the National Conference of Catholic
Bishops. The NCCB committee did not support women
priests, but Bishop Michael F. McAuliffe of Jefferson
City, Mo., chairman of the committee, urged the bishops
to study the possibility of ordaining women as deacons.
On Sept. 5 the pope also asked bishops to stress other
church beliefs, even if they are controversial and
unpopular.
A bishop “will proclaim without fear or ambiguity the
many controverted truths of our age,” said the pontiff.
“He will proclaim them with pastoral love, in terms that
will never unnecessarily offend or alienate his hearers, but
he will proclaim them clearly, because he knows the
liberating quality of truth.”
The bishops were told to proclaim the Gospel “in all its
purity and power, with all its demands.”
This includes proclaiming the indissolubility of
marriage, “the incompatibility of premarital sex and
homosexual activity with God’s plan for human love” and
“the unpopular truth that artificial birth control is against
God’s law,” the pope said.
He also asked the bishops to defend the rights of the
unborn, the weak, the handicapped, the old and the poor.
While opposing homosexual activity and premarital sex,
a bishop “will at the same time, with all his strength, try
to assist those who are faced with difficult moral
choices,” the pope added.
The authenticity of church teaching does not depend
on a popular vote, the pope said.
“The bishop proclaims the Gospel of salvation not as a
human consensus but as a divine revelation,” the pope
added.
The bishop, said the pope, “must accept the
consequences of the fact that he is, with Jesus Christ, a
sign of contradiction” and must “announce to the young
and the old, to the rich and the poor, to the powerful and
the weak the fullness of truth, which sometimes irritates
and offends, even if it always liberates.”
In so doing, added the pope, “the bishop will be called
upon over and over again to accept criticism and to admit
failure in obtaining a consensus of doctrine acceptable to
everyone.”
“The renewal willed by the Second Vatican Council,”
said the pontiff, “depends on the ministry of bishops,”
meaning that a bishop must be a man who “expresses to
all individuals and groups of whatever tendency - with a
universal charity -- the love of the good shepherd.”
The love of a bishop must extend to every person in
need, said the pope and, in a special way, to his priests in
a love of “a friendship that knows how to communicate
esteem, and through warm human exchange can help a
brother priest even rise from moments of discouragement,
sadness or dejection.”
Bishops are also called to be “teachers of prayer” to the
faithful of their dioceses, the pope said.
Bishops should also use prayer in the selection of new
bishops, said the pope, assuring themselves that such
candidates are “teachers of the faith as it is proclaimed by
the magisterium (teaching authority) of the church.”
The visit was one of several taking place this year by
groups of U.S. bishops. In April the pope spoke to the
bishops of New York State, urging them to encourage
people to greater fidelity to the sacrament of penance.
Along with many American bishops, Archbishop
Thomas A. Donnellan is presently in Rome making his
“ad limina” visit.
