Added the part about the Saginaw Gears ceremony because I witnessed it as an altar server in the Saginaw Diocese -- probably around 1981. I believe all the servers in the diocese were invited to attend. Really made a very positive impression on my friends and me to see that our bishop, though a devout Catholic, was also a regular guy -- even a COOL guy. (And he was cool for selling the fancy bishop's mansion, too. That made an impression on everyone in my age group and many of our parents as well.)
- While you may have a strong attachment to the late Bishop, one must be careful not to let their personal feelings slip into their article editing. This article comes close to being biased strongly in favor of Bishop Untener, his persona, and especially his views. More traditional Catholics may not have favored Untener's views - which is why both sides should endeavor to keep personal feelings separate. I have changed nothing in the article, however, because I think it mostly maintains neutrality. --TheTriumvir 00:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
This page should probably mention Bishop Untener's [Little Books] initiative. His Six Minute Reflections on the Weekly Gospels series is still quite popular. Christopher Sajdak 19:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
I changed the word "consecration to "ordination" in the interest of accuracy. In the Catholic Church, the ceremony where by a priest becomes a bishop is properly termed an ordination. The term consecration is common to describe the rite in the Anglican and Episcopalian churches but it is no longer used withing Roman Catholicism.
Within the Catholic Church, Ordination has three levels: Diaconate (deacon), Presbyterate (priest) and Episcopate (bishop)
