In Conversation with Cardinal Mahoney and Bishop Barnes
The website – cinops be gone – Saturday, December 6, 2008

Dear Cardinal and Bishop,
Today is the feast of Bishop St. Nicholas. He participated at the Council of Nicaea and together with that first great assembly of bishops formulated the profession of faith in the true divinity of Jesus Christ. Pope Benedict XVI.
So the shepherds of Christ’s flock must never indulge in self-love if they do they will be tending the sheep not as Christ’s but as their own. And of all vices this is the one that the shepherds must guard against most earnestly: seeking their own purposes instead of Christ’s, furthering their own desires by means of those persons for whom Christ shed his blood. Treatise on John by St. Augustine:

There is a train wreck ahead. Everything must be done to avoid this train wreck which is the federal legalization of same-sex marriage. The judicial activists have done it in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Within a few years, it may be legalized by the Supreme Court with a couple of new Supreme Court Justices.

Welcome to CINOPS BE GONE. This blog is dedicated to the exposure and removal of Catholic-in-name-only Politicians. St. Thomas More is our model and patron. We live in two Americas. With reference to George Weigel and Father Richard McBrien, our Church is divided on how to respond to secular America. We need to bridge the gap. Pope Benedict XVI stated, “In a special way, I reaffirm the necessity and urgency of the evangelical formation and pastoral accompaniment of a new generation of Catholics involved in politics, that they may be coherent with their professed faith.” Our purpose is a reality check-up.

Presently, this blog is a voice crying in the wilderness. We are a blog with about 550 informational letters since May, 2007. Our special for the last week and for the next two weeks is a study of Catholic–label politician and writer Bill Press. I apologize for the number of other e-mails before Christmas. There are: Member of the Canadian Parliament Tom Wappel,’s “Address to Catholic Clergy Luncheon,” Robert J. Kendra’s article, “Episcopal Abortion Politics,” and “The Shenanigans of Doug Kmiec,” and comments by Cardinal Stafford and McBrien.

Uppermost in our minds is the prevention of any federal or state same-sex marriage laws. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. A ST. THOMAS MORE STUDY GROUP will begin in January, monthly on Tuesday or Thursday evening, 7-9 P.M. at a library in Anaheim, California. We will focus on the same-sex marriage law passed by Catholic-label politicians in Canada in 2005 and how to prevent this mindset from occurring in the United States. Cinops are invited. We can also review James Monty’s book, The King’s Good Servant but God’s First, “The Life & Writings of St. Thomas More.” Ignatius Press, San Francisco, /97

In closing, we need to be aware in our deliberations; avoid any kind of bias in favor of a political party. For example, would the bishops have remained silent during the last couple of decades if the leadership of the Republican Party promoted abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem cell research, etc? Also, as staunch Americans, we can study the role of bishops in the voting patterns of Catholics in Europe during the 1930’s. Looking for Pope John Paul II Shepherds!
