Monsignors became an endangered species in Peoria under Myers' predecessor, who made none in his twenty years as bishop, even though he himself mad been a monsignor!  But Myers generously rewarded his buddies, including a couple of them later identified as pedophiles.  Oops!  So, becoming a monsignor in Myers' Peoria was a mixed bag, but still fit the stereotype of "candy for the children."  But as the old story goes, we know that God is a UIUC alum because the sun is orange, and the sky in blue!  Meanwhile, I very much enjoy your posts here!  Keep up your good work, please!
