US Catholic Bishops' Power Grab

According to Associate Press and Georgetown University paper, Vox Populi, the U.S. Conference of Bishops has formed a task force to examine what actions they could take to increase their oversight of Catholic colleges and universities.

Cardinal Francis George (Chicago) said the task force is researching what church law says about the bishops authority over schools.

It seems to me our bishops would be much better off serving the pastoral needs of their dioceses, taking steps to eliminate their pedophilic priests, and making an efforts to keep the Catholics we have, than trying to govern U.S. Catholic colleges and universities.

Our Catholic colleges and universities are doing just fine, thank you; they do not need power-hungry bishops snooping around their campuses.
