Bishop Vasa requires profession of faith from all catechists, lectors

In an interview with Catholic World Report, Bishop Robert Vasa -recently named the coadjutor bishop of Santa Rosa, California -discusses his concerns about the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, the importance of denying Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians, and his decision to require all “lectors, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, cantors, and catechists to attest to the fact that they affirm and believe the basic teachings of the Church as found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.” 

He adds, “This includes declaring such things as: I believe in God, the virgin birth, the existence of purgatory, the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. I also accept the Church’s moral teachings, such as the evil and sinfulness of contraception, homosexual activity, and adulterous behavior.”

  1. If repeating the Apostles Creed, etc was good enough for my last prayers when I was preparing myself to meet God face to face in the next few moments, while a fanatical hit and run driver was out to kill Catholics in the spring of 1960, then that profession of faith ought to be good enough for the Bishop as well!!

    He isn't more righteous than God, is he???

  2. The Diocese of Santa Rosa is about to experience what it is like to have a "Vasa-ectomy."

    God help them!
