Time for a new appointments system

We all need to discuss how to ensure the future appointment of orthodox, anti-abortion new bishops who are wedded to Catholicism, not the Democrat Party, and who do not think the Democrat platform is the Creed.

The current appointment process has problems. If Rome simply rubber-stamps liberal nominees that a liberal U.S. hierarchy makes, our problems will continue and we will get nowhere.

When looking for new bishops, Rome needs to give consultative status to orthodox U.S. priests' groups and to listen to them carefully.
