Stephan Berg was named the next bishop of Pueblo, Colorado. Look at his resume. It is filled with pastoral parish work. Even when he was a mucky muck in his Texas diocese, he was a pastor. This is the future. Bureaucrats need not apply for bishop. Same for seminary professors. Berg even started out in rural parishes. Many a diocesan priest thinks he is being punished if he is assigned to rural areas. The world it is a changing.
Padre Terry, Yes and I guess your Boulder parish has a newly ordained deacon who hangs at the jail and the homeless shelter...seems like the man is cut from the cloth that Pope Francis speaks, Change is refreshing, no?
