‘Troublesome priest’ will not be bowed

Gerard Wright; 15/6/08

After he was introduced to the crowd of nearly 200 in the conference room of the motel, Bishop Geoffrey Robinson stood up and took off his jacket. In other times and other circumstances, this would be a signal among gentlemen that fisticuffs would soon begin. But Bishop Robinson, a retired auxiliary of the Catholic archdiocese of Sydney, is 70, and the only violence he does now is to the golf ball. But he also gives the impression of someone who would not only seek trouble, but meet it head on. This explains why the mainstream Catholic Church is treating him as a troublesome priest. As a bishop, he told the Thursday night gathering in the Los Angeles suburb of Culver City, he took an oath of loyalty to the Pope.
