Did French Cardinal Dish the Pope?

Good Grief. Creative Minority Report has more at He Ain't Nothing Special

Now it is very true that the relationship between the Pope and Bishops is" not a boss/employee relationship" and " He is not the CEO of a multinational corporation who is coming to visit a branch office".

In fact the Catechism says

895 "The power which they exercise personally in the name of Christ, is proper, ordinary, and immediate, although its exercise is ultimately controlled by the supreme authority of the Church."[427] But the bishops should not be thought of as vicars of the Pope. His ordinary and immediate authority over the whole Church does not annul, but on the contrary confirms and defends that of the bishops. Their authority must be exercised in communion with the whole Church under the guidance of the Pope.


THey should perhaps read the rest

Needless to say there is Holy Obedience and needless to say the Holy Father has juridiction on the matters we really know that the French Bishops are complaining about.
