VATICAN CITY, 4 NOV 2011 (VIS) - The Holy Father today received in audience thirteen prelates of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, on their "ad limina" visit:
- Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley O.F.M. Cap. of Boston accompanied, by Auxiliary Bishops Walter James Edyvean, John Anthony Dooher, Robert Francis Hennessey, Arthur L. Kennedy, and Peter J. Uglietto.
- Bishop Salvatore Ronald Matano of Burlington.
- Bishop George William Coleman of Fall River.
- Bishop Richard Joseph Malone of Portland.
- Bishop Timothy Anthony McDonnell of Springfield in Massachusetts.
- Bishop Robert Joseph McManus of Worcester.
- Bishop Francis J. Christian, auxiliary of Manchester, accompanied by Bishop emeritus John B. McCormack.

I wonder if Pope Benedict even cares that NH Auxiliary Francis J. Christian's conduct led to perjury accusations against the Diocese of Manchester. Christian told a court that a convicted rapist's sexual problems were unknown to the Diocese, even though Christian personally knew of criminal solicitation years prior.

Bernard Law gets a big party for his 80th birthday, and two criminally negligent bishops by any reasonable standard get received in Vatican splendor on the same day.
What is it the Vatican hierarchy doesn't understand?
