Austrian Bishops Continue Auto-destruction of the Church

So much for the Cardinal's American defenders... So much for Father Fessio's chaff-piece and Stevey Ray's attempt.

Austria priests urge reform in Vatican

Austrian Catholic bishops called on Rome not to ignore the necessity for major reforms within the Vatican, highlighting the sensitive issue of priestly celibacy.

Speaking at a three-day congress in Austria, Bishop Alois Schwarz of the Carinthia diocese said that the debate in small parish churches over celibacy and ordaining married priests should be an "amplifier" for the Catholic Church worldwide, AFP reported.

His comment echoed controversial remarks by Archbishop of Vienna and Pope Bendict XVI's protégé, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn -- the highest ranking Catholic to link celibacy laws to the rampant sex abuse scandals of Catholic clergy.
