The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution 

Reflection 341  Based on the 1965 Vatican II document: 
Decree on Bishops
- Article 11

(Comments welcome here)

 

This first of many articles on diocesan bishops stresses that a bishop is fundamentally a shepherd

One application of this is that a bishop should spend most of his time in his diocese, and should not be prone to running around the country/world accepting all sorts of invitations for meetings etc

Just like you, Jesus, who stayed in the Holy Land
....because that's where your Father asked you to work
