I recorded my conversation with Bishop Geoff Robinson in March, the evening before he was to leave for the East Coast. Particularly, given current developments, I am convinced that he needs to be heard much more widely than by those who had a chance to attend his lectures.

Dare I hope that this gentle man's courage, his choice to place loyalty to God and God's People before a loyalty oath to the pope, might inspire other bishops to speak out? After all, the loyalty oath is designed to stifle all public criticism of the pope and assure that the Catholic Church remain an absolute monarchy, trapped in what Bishop Geoff calls "the prison of the past."

The magisterium may have "thrown away the key," but we who love the church as it can be, do, in fact hold that key.The video is available in a four separate parts version (ca. 10 minutes each) and a full version (ca. 40 minutes). Depending on your system, you may prefer the smaller files.
