Diocesan spokesperson Andrew Walton says, "Bishop will appear on Sunday's CBS3 Newsmaker's program between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM. He will discuss parish planning and other topics in a 10 minute segment."
Since the bishop will be afforded this opportunity to express his views without contest, leaders of the Council of Parishes of Southern NJ (COP) will respond in real time, online, by webcam/blog. Those interested will be able to see and hear the response of the COP as well as read commentary.
After all, we feel that Bishop Galante is a "catalyst who will bring the laity in to share responsibility," and that is precisely what we are trying to do--share responsibility. In a "community of equals" it is necessary to "provide a sense of openness and ownership for everyone." (I am, of course, quoting Bishop Galante.)
