I assume this must be a parody blog, since as far as I know there is no Bishop of Norfolk, Va (correct me if I am wrong).

Hmm, Bishop Leo of Norfolk? It sounds like a pick-up on the Malachi Martin novel Windswept House (a novel, which, even if half were true, would make one’s blood curdle!)
The only dioceses in Virgina are Richmond and Arlingtion (info courtesy of the USCCB website). Seems we may have a parody blog similar to Musum Pontificalis.
Does Bishop DiLorenzo know that Norfolk is no longer part of his diocese?
At any rate, I’ve asked Bishop Leo when he plans to get around to straightening out all those heterodox parishes down in the Tidewater region.
It is presumptuous to assume that less than one-half of Windswept House is true.
I was told by the galley-editor of the book that it’s actually 90% true.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Cute,
He likes you Jeff.
So far it seems pretty simple. Wonder what he is up to? You really can’t even tell which direction he will go yet.
His Lordship (if he is one!) refers to a new vocations video released by the USCCB. It seems pretty %$#@-weak. But one of the first things one of my kids said when he got back from Cologne was “You’ve got to check out the ‘God in the Streets of New York’ video.” He saw it at the vocation.com cafe at Cologne (there was a huge Legionaries presence there apparently, and we found the video on their Vocation.com website). It was produced this year by the Archd.of NY Vocations Office and features Fr Groeschel among others. Once you see this one, you’ll want to ditch all those other crappy attempts.

Yep, sadly a fake… No Diocese of Norfolk (which didn’t ring alarm bells here because I have no idea of your Diocesan structure over there; if he’d tried say Diocese of Port Stephens here, I’d have immediately smelled a rat), and no Bishop Clayton anywhere; both according to the Catholic Hierarchy list as per now…
Bishop Clayton, the Bishop you have when you don’t actually have a Bishop… Er, that’s in the True (i.e: Catholic) Church, of course!
Just goes to show that if there isn’t a diocese of Norfolk there certainly should be!
From time to time there’s talk of splitting the geographically immense Richmond diocese, of which the westernmost parish is further west than Detroit, into two or even three dioceses, but it hasn’t happened yet. I’d be in favor of leaving the Richmond-to-Charlottesville axis to Richmond, and making the Tidewater one see and Lynchburg another. As of now, however, there is no Roman Catholic bishop whose seat is Norfolk, Virginia.
Good Service
