<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on his reasoning, were those politicians to 
go to Rome, the Pope should not interfere if they took communion 
there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He's got a point - their own bishops should be 
instructing them.  But it was his diocese, and he has to supervise what 
happens there.  Both sides failed to control the politicians.  Both 
sides had that responsibility.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The American bishops must take 
responsibility.  The English are complaining that theirs don't.  Ours 
- I don't know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"<EM>As I've argued repeatedly, anybody who has 
read and internalized Ut Unum Sint could not be surprised when the Pope with the 
most Eastern conception of the papacy in a thousand years did not regard it as 
his role to micromanage the American Church.</EM>" - Mark Shea, <A

<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the other hand, bishops are not omnipresent, and 
can't be expected to sit down with every possible person and discuss whether
