Meet one of Canada's newest bishops. Praise of Progress sees great hope here for the emerging new church. When a reporter asked him about his plans for the diocese, bishop-elect Bergie talked about attending meetings, but he did not say a word about evangelization, vocations, holiness or prayer (. That is good news for the church in Canada, because it means our bishops are confident in their administrative model of church. We at Praise of Progress are especially pleased to see that Bergie was nominated because he is well-liked. That area clergy are not challenged or provoked by the bishop-elect is a good sign. It shows that the spirit of conformism is alive and well among our clergy. If being well-liked is a criterion of becoming a bishop, those bothersome priests will be kept out of the episcopate. Sounds like there are good days ahead for those who love progress.
