It seems as if his amendment is calling for explicit recognition of the ministry. Saying that there is no support group that is more faithful or has more history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">Bishop Serratelli: says the committee agrees with Bishop Burke. It&#8217;s not a question of the group. The committee felt with a generic statement and not to recommend or mention any particular group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">Bishop Paproki gets up and speaks in support of Archbishop Burke and poitns out since this is a document for bishops, it would be helpful to have specific suggestions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">Bishop Niederauer speaks against Archbishop Burke&#8217;s amendment. I want to support the committee&#8217;s judgment for a generic mention. No reason given.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I not surprised ? <\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">&#8230;Cardinal George: in favor of the amendment, strongly, saying that Courage has been unjustly attacked and falsely misrepresented. The effectiveness of the group has struck him: &quot;they are not only striving to be chaste, but they are striving to be saints. They are holy people.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Cardinal George for speaking the truth. The amendment though was defeated 121 to 105, but they did approve mention of Courage and Encourage as a footnote. Maybe they should start a new group called Discourage since they seem to want to discourage those with same-sex attraction from living a chaste life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanpapist.com\/blog.html\">American Papist has also been<\/a> providing good coverage of the conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Welborn has been providing excellent coverage of the bishop&#8217;s conference and today includes this: Archbishop Burke is speaking about Courage and EnCourage .
