A little more on the Cardinals in Vegas
Honestly, I didn't mean to detract from a) the many good Catholic things that are going on in that city and b) the real need for ongoing pastoral care and evangelization within its boarders.
Well, Diogenes has posted his thoughts on it, and gets far more serious in his criticism than I did. I think it's an interesting question either way you look at it (as a chance for the Church to show that she isn't removed from the world or, negatively, a case where the bishops should stop looking and acting like CEO's or just any other group of executives lobbying for funding).
I think the mere fact that the choice of locale raises questions among many people would at least be some cause for, at any rate, dropping words like "fabulous" to describe the environs of the fundraising events.
That's my $0.02.
