Resolution 

Reflection 337  Based on the 1965 Vatican II document: 
Decree on Bishops
- Article 7

(Comments welcome here)

 

This short article says:

Let them (bishops) especially embrace in brotherly affection those bishops who, for the sake of Christ, are plagued with slander and indigence, detained in prisons, or held back from their ministry. They should take an active brotherly interest in them so that their sufferings may be assuaged and alleviated through the prayers and good works of their confreres.

These words make me think of the many bishops in prison in China, like this one of whom no word has been heard for 15 years

The above words also make me think of Bishop Bill Morris - a victim of slander and injustice - see link to many articles at right of main page of www.v2catholic.com

Jesus, please move bishops to care more for bishops in prison
and bishops treated unjustly
