Bishops. Waiting to see what the other guys do. Then, boldly leaping into action!

And getting it wrong. Again.

The Bishop of Erie Pennsylvania is not to be confused with his predecessor, the Erie Bishop of Pennsylvania, Donald Trautman. Although, they both seem challenged by accurate translations. More on that, below.

The Bishop of Erie, has attempted to restrict ad orientem celebration of Holy Mass. It’s some kind of fever that they have, manifesting symptoms of profound confusion about Latin, the loss of the use of logic, and probable fear of “Rome”.

I agree! With human history, it's ok to judge a book by it's cover, because human history does change.
But when we're getting into Church history, we have to remember two things:

2. Man is imperfect, struggling to become one with God.
That's why we always have to go back to the Beginning, and see how practices have changed, ( or failed!) as we try to understand and emulate what God wants.
