cardinal law and pastoral provision
On that note, whatever happened to Cardinal Law? I am not all that sure- officially, he is retired with the title of Archbishop Emeritus of Boston.
The Pastoral Provision website, last updated September 2001, still names Cardinal Law as Ecclesiastical Delegate- a position he has held since the position was created in 1981.
The so-called Pastoral Provision is a provision that Pope John Paul II made in 1980 to assist in the reconciliation of priests and laity from the Episcopal Church. In short, in accordance with the provision, a Episcopal person may reconcile him/herself with the Catholic Church as they would have already, a Episcopal priest- even those who are married- may reconcile himself and be allowed to be re-ordained a Catholic priest, or even an entire Episcopal congregation could reconcile itself with the Catholic Church and be able to use a modified, approved version of the Divine Book of Worship they had previously used.
With all the recent events in the Episcopal Church, I wouldn’t be shocked to see the provision enacted a bit more.

new archbishop of boston
Archbishop Sean Patrick O’Malley, OFM Cap. was installed as the sixth Archbishop of Boston on July 30 marking the start of a new era in the torn archdiocese.
I think it’s fitting that a Franciscan brother now sits on the cathedra in the Cathedral- if we recall, St. Francis started the Franciscan movement after hearing the call “Francis, rebuild my Church” from the Lord. At the time, Francis took that to mean the physical church but he later realized it was meant for the Church as a whole. The Church of Boston is in great need of being rebuilt and it is quite poetic that a successor to the call of St. Francis has been appointed for the task.
In his homily, the new Archbishop sounded ready and excited to begin this process in the area. With his record of accomplishment in the dioceses of Palm Beach and Fall River, I really believe he is going to do the best job possible for everyone- priests, victims, everyone.
Next Friday: What happened to Cardinal Law? What is this ‘Pastoral Provision’?

soc 302
Right now, I should be doing some reading for my soc class I’m taking via the internet at Midwestern State. I’ve been working on this site all day getting this weblog webapp to work but finally it is, but alas, the reading still awaits.
So far, I can’t wait for this summer term to be over. The work is such a waste of time- I sit in my political science class for two hours to day to hear information that Sherry taught us back in our sophomore year!
Anyhow, I’ll keep this short- I am going to go and do a little work now :-/
