Bishop Sample's "Stock" is Rising

Just a quick note about a "Defend Us In Battle Favorite" - Bishop Alexander Sample of Marquette, Michigan.

Father Boyle and Father Z. have both highlighted his most recent Pastoral Letter. Now granted that this letter is patterned off of a letter that many Bishops are sending around this weekend, he seems to be one of the first ones to jump on board and get it out "into the wild." The letter is worth reading, especially if your Bishop doesn't issue one this weekend.

Father Z. mentions at the end of his post that Bishop Sample could be the next Archbishop of Chicago... and for those that are keeping score at home, realize that Father Z's idea is not a novel one. In fact, this blogger (as in me) mentioned the idea a while back.

Let us continue to pray for Bishop Sample, and all of our Bishops.
