Q. The report says there should be lay input in the selection of bishops.
A. It became very clear to us after two years of investigating and interviewing that some of the most important qualities of a bishop have got to be that they have to be pastors and shepherds of the flock. And that some bishops have gotten to be bishops because they'd gotten on a fast track in Rome. I think if more bishops had been real pastors, dealing with families and mothers and fathers, this would not have happened, because they would have appreciated the horror of what was happening.
It's one of the recommendations of the National Review Board...See page 135 of the report for details....Lord, Help us!
