Quotes

• Collegiality does not exist when Bishops are passive, but when they take the initiative in bringing forward problems and possibilities, as they share the roles of teaching, sanctifying and governing. Collegiality simply expresses the apostolic origin of the Church entrusted by Christ to the Apostles and by them to their successors. The dialogue of salvation needs to be kept open.

Quotes about William Martin Morris

• He's a very good man. He had a lot of pastoral strengths. He's got a lot of good points. He's done of lot of good work. Hes got quite a strong following in the diocese. But the diocese was divided quite badly and the bishop hasn't demonstrated that he's a team player. I mean even at the end he didn't wait for the official Vatican announcement.
