Bishop Callahan on Archbishop Weakland..
Bishop Callahan said Weakland’s legacy in the church is not just his mistakes but also some of the good he did, including shaping the modern Mass.

Callahan, who's known Weakland for years, said he's surprised by Weakland's admission that he is gay. “I think it caught me off guard. It was not necessarily something I was ready to hear coming from the Archbishop,” Callahan said. - Source

Ooooooh. Well that's nice. (Marge Simpson's voice.)

UPDATE: With money he earned from speaking and writing, and through funds raised by several of his friends, Archbishop Weakland repaid the $450,000 to the archdiocese. In a recent interview with TheAssociated Press, the archbishop said proceeds from the sale of his memoirs will be donated to the Milwaukee-based Catholic Community Foundation.

I did not know that before.

"including shaping the modern Mass."
ReplyDeleteI can forgive him being a homosexual. I can forgive him handing over all that church money to his boyfriend. I cannot forgive him for the damage he did to the Mass.
I can't believe he is actually writing his "life story". Don't people know when it's time to leave the party?
"some of the good he did, including shaping the modern Mass." - sounds more of a back handed insult.
ReplyDeleteWhat Adrienne said: that actually made me smile.
Weakland is old, but still alive--instead of writing the book, he should better spend his days doing penance, repenting, and praying--instead of trying to glorify himself before he dies!
