Say "No" to "Private Practice, Say "No" to "Tribalism", Say "Yes" to "Intimate Sacramental Brotherhoods" for Service
Say, that's a long title.
Rev. J. Ronald Knott gave this Keynote Address [11 pp. pdf] on April 24, 2007 to the National Federation of Priests’ Councils annual Convention. It's posted at MAPA [Milwaukee Archdiocese Priests Alliance].
Fr. Knott claims to advocate revival of the Presbyterium, that is, "a college of priests who surrounded the bishop to help him carry out his ministry." Is so, he chose an odd venue, given that, if MAPA is typical, priests' councils make a point of emphasizing their independence from their bishop, even acting at cross-purposes to him.
In Knott's terms, MAPA is an example of "tribalism"; I might have called it an unstable isotope of Presbyterium.
