Talk about the need for wisdom this week! The U.S. bishops are meeting, and may cut the budget for the anti-poverty efforts of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. The Southern Baptists are meeting, and may kick out churches with women pastors. North American Anglicans – and at least two Catholic Cardinals – insist on a male-only priesthood. Theologians began meeting this week to develop the Instrumentum Laboris for the Synod.
