Bishop Olson is embarrassing
Bishop Michael Olson is embarrassing all folks Catholics at the moment together with his ongoing feud with the Arlington nuns. (Aug. 22, 1A, “Fort Worth bishop threatens censure of nuns”) Without a doubt there used to be a greater approach to care for the condition.
Since he were given right here, Olson has pushed off monks he used to be jealous of or didn’t like, from parish monks to school chaplains to the management of Nolan Catholic Top College. He removed many methods he didn’t like.
It’s his method or the freeway.
There was once a time, the Fortress Importance diocese used to be a loving Christian family that cared about its parishioners and had bishops who weren’t bullies. Olson must be changed once imaginable.

Why ‘Rich Men’ music has energy
Oliver Anthony’s nation music “Rich Men North of Richmond” resonates in my center. (Aug. 24, 11A, “Washington deserves the scorn of ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’”) I feel it’s as a result of executive officers old to tax the lavish and provides to the broke to get elected or reelected to positions of energy, affect and prosperity. Now executive officers tax the broke to present to the idle for a similar causes. The main hasn’t modified, simply the sufferers.
