Showing Original Post only (View all)Did an Archbishop from Kentucky troll the Pope? [View all]
Talk about conservative.
Joseph Kurtz, the archbishop of Louisville, Kentucky, and the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, wouldnt comment on the meeting itself and how it came about, noting that he stayed about a mile away from the nunciature where Pope Francis stayed during his visit to D.C. But I can comment on the fact that in Kentucky, I had said that Im not a lawyer or a politician, but I had certainly hoped that room could be made for people of conscience, he said on Wednesday. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was the primary coordinator of the popes schedule during his visit to the United States.

Great questions, yours. I am a Roman Catholic with fundamentalist Buddhist and Sufi elements.
