46 Bishops Speak out on Notre Dame Scandal

If your bishop has not spoken up, google the diocese and look for an email contact for him, his secretary, or other general email and ask him to join other bishops with a statement. Or, call the diocese. Be charitable and if no statement is forthcoming, please don't pass judgment by assuming he doesn't care or is is siding with Fr. Jenkins. There could be a variety of reasons why other bishops have not offered public opinions on the matter.

While you are at it, pray for the bishops. Go to Mass for them, pray the Rosary for them, spend time in Adoration and ask God to grace our bishops with holy boldness in the face of dissent. May they take back the Church handed down to them by the apostles who gave their lives for the truth. If we want the grip of dissidents to loosen, we have to pray for our bishops and priests.

Please draw to their attention, that Bishop Wenski is offering a Mass of Reparation. This is something rarely heard of today and we need to be doing more of it.

Finally, if you missed it, be sure to read Bishop D'Arcy's latest statement to the faithful, in which he strongly rebuked Fr. Jenkins saying "...the terrible breach between Notre Dame and the Church cannot continue".
