Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit must seek permission from local bishops anywhere he wishes to speak, by order of the papal nuncio, the Vatican's ambassador to the United States, according to local leaders of Call to Action. The group has taken a variety of positions at odds with church policy.Call to Action - an heretical group if there ever was one. All members of this group and any other group like it, should receive treatment for the deadly disease which afflicts them. And the proper medicine would be excommunication.
. . .
Bishops Thomas J. Olmsted of Phoenix and Gerald Kicanas of Tucson refused to grant the permission.
. . .
Phoenix Diocese spokesman James Dwyer said the problem was not with Gumbleton, who has taken positions at odds with a majority of his fellow bishops, but with Call to Action.
And what about those who claim that they'll show a video of Gumbleton? Is Gumbleton permitting this? It's obvious that using a video as means of communication to circumvent the permission requirement is a violation of the order of the nuncio - if not in letter, at least in spirit.
These folks need prayers. They need conversion. They need enlightenment. They need to learn to conform their wills to God's will.
