New bishops' president wants to heal wounds from sex abuse crisis
WASHINGTON The new president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says he'll work to assure the public that church leaders are committed to protecting children from abuse by clergy.

Bishop William Skylstad (SKIL'-stad) of Spokane, Washington, says the bishops will build on the safeguards they put in place after June 2002. That was when they met in Dallas at the height of the molestation crisis. He also pledged to promote the healing of abuse victims.

Skylstad's election to a three-year term, starting this week, came just days after he announced that his diocese will seek bankruptcy protection from (m) millions of dollars in abuse claims.http://www.kfor.com/Global/story.asp?S=2581103

5. Unless you're a Republican Look at Arnold in Calif. Any bishops come
out against him? Those fucking bastards are just as bad as they were in the middle ages siding with the nobles. And oh yeah I'm Catholic 12 years worth of Jesuit education. God I'm so pissed off I think I'll be a Buddhist.
