Archbishop Donoghue Era Comes to an End

It's sad to see a bishop such as Archbishop Donoghue retire. He was one of the better bishops, IMHO, of recent years.

[Archbihsop] Donoghue, 76, presided over the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta for 11 years and occasionally drew fire for controversial edicts that included a ban on women participating in foot-washing ceremonies and an edict denying Holy Communion to politicians who support abortion rights.

He performed his duties as required of his calling in life.

Many Catholics praised him for his resolute convictions and unwillingness to bend the Catholic faith to soothe modern ears.

Amen, brothers and sisters!

I understand also that Abp. Donoghue sent his seminarians to Franciscan University of Steubenville for pre-theology classes. That says much about the theology program at FUS...

Pray that more and more good and faithful bishops are appointed to lead the people to Christ through His Church.
