Bishop Guglielmone to be Ordained Today


Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone

The new Catholic bishop of Charleston will be ordained today in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Scripture tells us that "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." We have faith in Bishop Guglielmone, and hope he will be a powerful instrument of God's grace.

Our new bishop comes from the Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York, the diocese in which I grew up. That diocese has been a hotbed of modernism and heterodoxy, but we hope its many troubles will have only strengthened our new bishop's orthodoxy and will keep him focused on proclaiming the Truth and building the Kingdom of God.


His installation can be viewed live and in its entirety
here at 2 p.m. today.

We will be praying that Bishop Guglielmone doesn't turn out to be a "modernist," as so many in the last half century have proven to be. What is a "modernist"? With a hat tip to
The Modern Priest blog which is based in Bishop Guglielmone's former diocese, let Sir Humphrey explain it to you:
