Sheep Without a Shepherd
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
It is part of Jesus’ providential design that He established the Church with a concrete authority structure. By choosing from among the many disciples Twelve who he named Apostles, and by the fact that the early church sought to fill the “vacancy” left by Judas Iscariot, it is clear that the first Christians considered the role of Apostle to be an “office.” It is also true that the number of Apostles was limited to the additions of Matthias and Paul, BUT as the earthly missions of the Apostles themselves were coming to an end, the Apostles DID appoint successors for themselves, the Episkopoi or Bishops. Bishops are not exactly the same thing as Apostles— the Church has taught for a long time that the era of the Apostles was the only era in which new, PUBLIC revelation was declared. What does this mean?
The church allows for the possibility of new or ongoing “revelations,” or transmissions of teaching or perhaps prophecy. You can look to the “approved” apparitions of the Blessed Mother as examples. These are considered to be worthy of belief by the faithful. There is nothing contrary to the deposit of faith in them, and you can say that the Blessed Mother taught “new” things in those appearances (for example, that She wanted the Church to pray for Russia, etc). But even these approved apparitions of the Blessed Mother are PRIVATE revelations. They are NOT a mandatory part of the deposit of faith, i.e., no Christian is bound by obedience or submission of intellect or will to believe anything revealed in them.

Can the Church, through the Bishops and the Pope, establish new teachings that ARE required to be believed by the faithful? Yes, and that would typically happen through what we call “infallible declarations,” but this is extremely rare. And even in those rare cases, typically the way the teachings are framed is not so much that they are “new,” but that they are newly defined or clarified. Bishops, and even the Pope, don’t typically describe their teaching role as writing or creating NEW teachings, so much as “protecting the deposit of faith” and clarifying confusions or disagreements among the faithful about established church teachings and how to apply them to the changing realities of the world.
Prayer for a New Bishop
Almighty and ever-living God, in your faithfulness, grant to the Diocese of Colorado Springs a shepherd whose watchful care and kindly zeal will continue the good work of his predecessors.
In your love for us, give us a shepherd who will lead us in being Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice. Let him who is chosen to be our shepherd strive to live more and more each day with holiness of life and heroic virtue so that he will lead your holy people in all truth.
Prepare him, we humbly pray, to fill our minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to actively work to build up your holy Church.
Loving God, grant our Holy Father Pope Leo wisdom in discernment as he chooses a new bishop for this local Church. By your divine providence, grant us a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, whose benevolent care and zealousness will strengthen the people of God.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, and in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
