Archbishop Blesses His Critics

This is a photo of Archbishop Mansell blessing the Hartford Catholic Workers who were at the Cathedral of St. Joseph on Ash Wednesday to protest "what members perceive as the church's failure to speak out against the torture of detainees in the war on terrorism." It ran in the Courant the following day.

Is undermining our military at a time of Global War with terrorists realy something a Catholic Bishopshould be blessing???

The Archbishop blesses those who call on the Church to speak out more forcefully for the cause of human rights.

Holding detainees in the "War on Terror" without defference to their human rights (remember - in Catholic thought, human rights are based on the inherent dignity of the human person by virtue of being created in the image and likeness of God) is a policy of this administration in particular and not necessarily of the military. Calling the Bishops to speak out against the inhumane policies of the administration is exactly something a Catholic Bishop should be blessing.
