Bishop Zurek, for his part, called what Matthiesen did a ‘serious mistake,’ yet the memorial still remains.”
Since baptism calls me to share my perspective on our common mission, could my daily postings not be considered an “effort” to address certain issues before Bishop Zurek retires❓
From luke 12: 54-59
Furthermore, is now not the time to “interpret the present” moment and “judge what is right” in regard to:
…A memorial erected by a convicted pedophile priest for a bishop whom Bishop Zurek acknowledges made a “serious mistake,” yet which Bishop Zurek has not removed;
…A letter on the diocesan website, which Bishop Zurek still hasn’t retracted, denouncing ‘a few’ who reported abuse at St. Mary’s Cathedral, as directed by their “Safe Environment Training”;
…The cancellation of daily Masses at St. Mary’s Cathedral during a National Eucharistic Revival year on days when only one priest is available due to a funeral Mass;
…And a house built by Bishop Zurek without consulting the “people of God,” which our new bishop may now feel pressured into living in❓

Ecclesial discernment for mission
60.
“Precisely insofar as it requires each person to share his or her point of view on the common mission we share, a process of discernment articulates in a concrete way communion, mission, and participation.“; subsequently, will I make the “effort” to articulate “communion, mission, and participation” in a concrete way that could “urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,“❓
“In other words, it is a way of walking together.“; accordingly, can I not, in this way, develop “a process of discernment” with Bishop Zurek, so that after some “effort” we may proclaim, “Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.“❓
Alleluia, alleluia,
“This is why it is crucial to promote broad participation in processes of discernment, taking special care to involve those on the margins of the community and society.“; moreover, regarding the “serious mistake” memorial, the letter, canceled Eucharists, and the house built by Zurek, shouldn’t I make every “effort” to ensure that these “processes of discernment” include those on the margins, since, “Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.“❓
Alleluia, alleluia
Finally, since “Every effort to protect and improve our world entails profound changes in ‘lifestyles, models of production and consumption, and the established structures of power which today govern societies,'” does my conscience not require me to pray and post about urging our new bishop to ‘Just Say NO❣️’ to being pressured into participating in Bishop Zurek’s “sins against synodality” before Bishop Zurek retires❓Consequently, can I not then tell my conscience that I did……
“make an effort to settle the matter on the way“❓
Every effort to protect and improve our world entails profound changes in “lifestyles, models of production and consumption, and the established structures of power which today govern societies”
