Msgr. James Bartylla discusses role as diocesan administrator
continue at MadCathHeraldMADISON -- “The general rule is that a diocesan administrator can do whatever a diocesan bishop can do, but with some important limitations, and of course, a priest elected as the diocesan administrator isn’t a consecrated bishop, and therefore doesn’t possess the sacramental grace and character of the episcopacy,” said Msgr. James Bartylla in discussing his role as diocesan administrator of the Diocese of Madison.
On November 26, two days after the death of Bishop Robert C. Morlino, the College of Consultors -- a body of nine diocesan priests -- elected Monsignor Bartylla as diocesan administrator. He had been the vicar general for Bishop Morlino.
“Upon the death of a bishop, all vicars general and episcopal vicars lose their offices,” noted Monsignor Bartylla. “The College of Consultors assumes governance of the diocese upon the death of the bishop.”
Madison Diocesan Choir director reflects on Bp. Morlino's passing
Reflecting on Bishop Morlino’s passing, [Dr. Partrick] Gorman agreed the patriarch had his critics, and he acknowledged his own disagreements and lively discussions with the bishop. “Some really nice debates,” said Gorman, adding with a laugh, “I never won one.”continue at MadCatHerald
But those debates always ended amicably, and Gorman came to know Bishop Morlino as a kind and generous man of strong faith, one who unbeknown to many, visited nursing homes every Christmas. He said Bishop Morlino paid him a surprise hospital visit following surgery a year ago.
“Both Denise and I thought that certainly was above and beyond the call of duty,” Gorman said. “I was always touched by that.”
And so for Gorman and others, this is a time of sadness. “It’s certainly sad, certainly unexpected,” Gorman said. “As with any death, especially a sudden one, there’s sadness in that you have no chance to say goodbye.”
And yet, there is reason to rejoice.
“He’s about the most joyful person I ever met, and I said this to him a number of times, that to me was just a sign of faith,” Gorman said. “He could have all kinds of things going on, and he would have a smile, he would talk, and not just be kind of artificially upbeat, but truly joyful.
The Madison Diocesan Choir will celebrate Advent with a Lessons & Carols concert on Sunday, Dec. 16. The free Lessons & Carols service begins in the Bishop O’Donnell Chapel at 4 p.m, at Holy Name Heights, the former Bishop O’Connor Catholic Pastoral Center, located at 702 S. High Point Rd. in Madison.
WisSJ: Madison Bishop Robert Morlino remembered for having deep knowledge of Catholic doctrine
Madison Bishop Robert C. Morlino was remembered at a funeral Mass Tuesday for having a deep knowledge of Catholic doctrine and representing the “bone marrow” of the Church.continue at WisSJ
Morlino “wanted to direct people to the truth” because he knew that is the path to Jesus, said Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki, who presided over the nearly two-hour Mass at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church on Madison’s Southwest Side.
Nearly 2,000 people, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Janesville, paid their final respects.

Msgr. James Bartylla unanimously elected diocesan administrator:
A group of priests of the Diocese of Madison known, in Church parlance, as the College of Consultors met today with the task of electing a diocesan administrator. The nine priests unanimously elected Msgr. James Bartylla, most recently the Vicar General for Bishop Morlino, and previously the Vocations Director, and Master of Ceremonies to the bishop.Some reactions below, but I would just say wait to worry, speculate and pontificate until the man is six feet under. He didn't raise us to be a bunch of hopeless panickers. Let us remember, pray, and be grateful at least until the final et lux perpetua luceat ei has completed.
Rocco wrote a surprising eulogy.
Practically from the beginning of the Whispers experience, Madison's fourth bishop has been a devoted friend, confidant – and, as you can well imagine, one of the greatest "quote machines" a beat-writer ever could've dreamt to have.
(In just one of a million priceless examples, while walking into the election that would see Tim Dolan shatter precedent to win the USCCB Presidency, I threw my arm around Morlino and asked him to predict the outcome, which sprung this reply: "I don't know what's gonna happen, but I'm gonna make like Chicago today – vote early and VOTE OFTEN!"

Prayers for Bishop Morlino after suffering “cardiac event”
Statement on Bishop Robert C. Morlino’s Health; Request for Prayers
On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bishop Robert Morlino was undergoing planned medical tests and had a cardiac event. Thankfully, he was in precisely the right place for such an event to occur and the healthcare professionals reacted expertly. At present, Bishop Morlino is resting and the doctors continue in their diagnostic and prognostic work. Per the Bishop’s preference, the decision was made not to trouble people for Thanksgiving Day, but at this time it is appropriate to notify the faithful and all people of good will, and to request your prayers. The Bishop is also very grateful to his healthcare professionals for their dedicated service.

Bp. Morlino warns against "aggressive" reporter George Neumayr
Beware of Mr. George Neumayr, he is aggressive and puts words in your mouth. During our recent conversation, I repeated at least three times "do not put words in my mouth." I will have no further comment about him.— Bp. Robert Morlino (@BishopMorlino) October 2, 2018
Neumayr posted in reply:
I just had an extremely disappointing experience with Bishop Morlino outside of the Mayflower hotel in Washington, DC. He is there for Napa Institute meetings.There is a major frustration especially amongst conservatives Catholics right now. It is obvious Pope Francis is not interested in the reforms necessary to fix the abuse cover up in the Church. There is also well founded paranoia that he has continued to push the Hermunetics of Rupture (which he dubbed the "the hermeneutic of conspiracy") through his leading bureaucrats. Where JPII worked to make peace between orthodox and progressive elements in the Church, the Francis bureaucracy makes war. Here we are at another Synod of Wokeness, in which the Francis bureaucracy can embarrass itself. But the point is that this isn't just about the abuse coverups, but that is the driving force. However, the Progressives rightly ask where was this demand for justice when JPII was covering for his abuser buddies. The solution must be one that can separate Church politics with a clear view of punishing criminals and giving victims their due.
I walked up to him, shook his hand, introduced myself, and was on the verge of saying something nice to him when he said through a grimace that he didn't like my journalism, didn't like Church Militant, didn't care to "see photos" of apartments and condos where priests are misbehaving, and that he is not the "investigator" of Monsignor Walter Rossi and therefore didn't care if my reports are true. I told him my journalism was motivated by a love for the Church, to which he responded meanly, "If you love the Church, you will get away from me."
And now we are seeing things like this:

How it all ends, I don't know. But now that it became clear that the Dallas Charter was a failure, and that Pope Francis promoted Cardinal McCarrick knowing he had been privately sanctioned, because he needed a political ally in the US. And since mainstream Catholic news services on both sides failed to report on abuse allegations(which have now been found to be true), hyper-journalism now is now on a major upswing.
Bp. Morlino releases statement on recent bombshell by former US Nuncio
Excerpt:
Masterfully said. Without time to comment more on the news you certainly have read, I'll try to post the local responses.
However, I must confess my disappointment that in his remarks on the return flight from Dublin to Rome, the Holy Father chose a course of “no comment,” regarding any conclusions that might be drawn from Archbishop Viganò’s allegations. Pope Francis further said expressly that such conclusions should be left to the “professional maturity” of journalists. In the United States and elsewhere, in fact, very little is more questionable than the professional maturity of journalists. The bias in the mainstream media could not be clearer and is recognized almost universally. I would never ascribe professional maturity to the journalism of the National Catholic Reporter, for example. (And, predictably, they are leading the charge in a campaign of vilification against Archbishop Viganò.)full statement Diocese of Madison
Having renewed my expression of respect and filial affection for the Holy Father, I must add that during his tenure as our Apostolic Nuncio, I came to know Archbishop Viganò both professionally and personally, and I remain deeply convinced of his honesty, loyalty to and love for the Church, and impeccable integrity. In fact, Arch. Viganò has offered a number of concrete, real allegations in his recent document, giving names, dates, places, and the location of supporting documentation – either at the Secretariat of State or at the Apostolic Nunciature. Thus, the criteria for credible allegations are more than fulfilled, and an investigation, according to proper canonical procedures, is certainly in order.
Masterfully said. Without time to comment more on the news you certainly have read, I'll try to post the local responses.

Bishop Morlino issues best response to date to the unresolved abuse crisis in the Church
The stories being brought into light and displayed in gruesome detail with regard to some priests, religious, and now even those in places of highest leadership, are sickening. Hearing even one of these stories is, quite literally, enough to make someone sick. But my own sickness at the stories is quickly put into perspective when I recall the fact that many individuals have lived through them for years. For them, these are not stories, they are indeed realities. To them I turn and say, again, I am sorry for what you have suffered and what you continue to suffer in your mind and in your heart.article at Madison Catholic Herald
...
It is time to admit that there is a homosexual subculture within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church that is wreaking great devastation in the vineyard of the Lord. The Church’s teaching is clear that the homosexual inclination is not in itself sinful, but it is intrinsically disordered in a way that renders any man stably afflicted by it unfit to be a priest. And the decision to act upon this disordered inclination is a sin so grave that it cries out to heaven for vengeance, especially when it involves preying upon the young or the vulnerable. Such wickedness should be hated with a perfect hatred. Christian charity itself demands that we should hate wickedness just as we love goodness. But while hating the sin, we must never hate the sinner, who is called to conversion, penance, and renewed communion with Christ and His Church, through His inexhaustible mercy.
...For the Church, the crisis we face is not limited to the McCarrick affair, or the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report, or anything else that may come. The deeper crisis that must be addressed is the license for sin to have a home in individuals at every level of the Church. There is a certain comfort level with sin that has come to pervade our teaching, our preaching, our decision making, and our very way of living.
If you’ll permit me, what the Church needs now is more hatred! As I have said previously, St. Thomas Aquinas said that hatred of wickedness actually belongs to the virtue of charity. As the Book of Proverbs says “My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness (Prov. 8:7).” It is an act of love to hate sin and to call others to turn away from sin.
You know it's good when this a response like this:
