<\/a>Dear Readers,<\/p>\n

The discussion on the OCA turmoil flared up on the AOI Observer where I let it run for a few days and then declared a moratorium. A major reason I imposed the break was that emotions ran very high and facts were in short supply — usually a recipe for even more unpleasantness. Another reason is that I really don’t like to discuss jurisdictional problems of the Church unless absolutely necessary. Each jurisdiction has problems, each jurisdiction is responsible for dealing with them, and usually it is best to let the people responsible for them just work it out. <\/p>\n

I said it would think about the moratorium for a few days and come to a decision about what to do. I have decided that discussion on this topic is permanently closed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
