Bishop Allen H. Vigneron: "10 rules for handling disagreement like a Christian"

A fine column by the Bishop of Oakland, who writes:

Whether or not the clash of opinions within the Catholic community in the U.S. has grown stronger or weakened over the last decade I couldn’t say; however, I do know that with some frequency we still find ourselves at odds over what we think and where we want to head.

With that in mind, I thought that I, now serving as pastor of the family of the Oakland Diocese, could profitably share these “Ten Rules” with all of you. So, here they are, along with my own brief commentary on each.

Go Bishop Vigneron! (He's my bishop!) He's a man of integrity that hasn't had an easy run of things thus far.

By the way, it looks like the link is now outdated, as a newer column has replaced the one you linked originally. The correct link now appears to be as follows:

Thanks, Paul — the link it now updated.

The only bishop I've ever met, and a fine--not to mention sharp--man.
