Article by Marc Aupiais

On the 10th "October" "2005", "Rustenberg" "Bishop", "Kevin Dowling",
was deemed a "hero" by "Time" magazine, for his direct apposing of
the "Vatican". In the article, his stance: that not promoting condoms,
was in his opinion: anti-life ("not pro-life") was noted, the "Time"
article is linked to by the "Cardinal Newman Society", in their
article: ("Cardinal Newman Society" (Catholic; Independent; American)
04 / 05 (May) / 2009). The "Catholic Church", believes that the "Life"
of a man and his "Soul" are one, whereby the health of the soul, would
be more important than temporary life on earth, according to a line
possibly similar to the official reasoning on the condom's ban, in
accordance with the biblical ban on condoms ("The sin of Onan").

"Kevin Dowling", a member of the "SACBC" ("Southern African Catholic
Bishops' Conference"), has consistently lamvbasted the "Vatican", from
attacking it for apposing the promotion of "Condom" focussed efforts to
prevent "HIV/AIDS" spread, to attacking efforts focussing on
abstenence, to randomly attacking the "Vatican", via (what "Cardinal
Wilfred Napier" of the "Archdiocese of Durban", calls
the "Anti-magisterial" 'biased') "Southern Cross", for the
implementation of draft liturgical changes by the "SACBC",
without "Vatican"consent, before new mass changes were finalized.
The "SACBC", later asked the "Vatican" permission to proceed, and
churches which went along with the error, continue to have a
different "mass" from the rest of the world.

Rather than defend the church, "Bishop" "Kevin Dowling", often chooses
to appose it, and promote other causes: via the use of his position as
a "Catholic" "Bishop". Where other "Bishops" in "Southern Africa",
apologized for the error of implimenting a draft, but defended the long
term decision by the "Vatican" to change the wording of the "Novus
Order" "mass", "Dowling" chose to attack a decision of the "Vatican"
(having already apposed it on "Condoms" and such), it was not the only
time he had used his position to spread disobedience
to "Pope" "Benedict XVI", and his predecessor "Pope" "John Paul II",
but just one of the many times he has spread dissent against
the "Vatican".

"Jesuit" run "University of California", like several other
organizations, has decided to honour this obscure "Bishop", of an even
more obscure "Diocese", on the 22 May 2009, according to the "Cardinal
Newman Society" (a laity initiative which claims to promote fidelity to
the church). "Rustenburg" "Bishop" "Kevin Dowling", will be sharing the
stage, along with: "Kamala D. Harris", "District Attorney" of "San
Francisco": a "gay activist": known for apposing the
successful "Proposition 8" which outlawed "Gay Marriage" in California".

According to the "Cardinal Newman Society", along with many independent
sources:

"Over the past few months, many U.S. bishops have reasserted the 2004
U.S. bishops conference statement, “Catholics in Political Life” in
their opposition to Notre Dame’s planned honor for pro-abortion
President Barack Obama. The statement reads: “The Catholic community
and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of
our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards,
honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.”"
