Plus ça change



Pleas for a radical reform of the Roman Curia and the manner of appointing bishops...1931.

Same complaints. Same solutions proposed (sans females, of course)

Vatican Diary / Future curia, old project:

"Aliquando autem totus episcopatus alicuius nationis ita est compositus, veluti si coecorum, claudorum et infirmorum omne genus esset refugium." 
"Sometimes it seems as if the whole body of bishops of a nation is composed so that it becomes a refuge for the blind, lame and sick."

Very funny.

Huh. Well, that worked out well. Not.

A thought: why, if the hierarchy is so boneheaded sometimes, do bona fide miracles (events that defy scientific rationalization or are so serendipitous as to strain credulity) continue to be recorded by the Church? I cannot think of the last time a Protestant ever experienced a miracle. It's always Catholics. Either the Church is right, or they're the least wrong.
