	Controversial Bishop to Visit Town By Michael Miller Daily Pilot June 10, 2008 http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2008/06/10/religion/dpt-bishop06112008.txt A local Catholic organization will have a controversial guest speaker Wednesday at the Costa Mesa Community Center, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange has asked him not to give his presentation. Australian Bishop Geoffrey Robinson left the church because he was unhappy with how it handled the sex abuse scandal, which he details in his new book "Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church." Now he's on a nationwide tour promoting the book, which Bishop Tod Brown of the Diocese of Orange says contradicts church doctrine. "Bishop Brown has echoed the sentiments of 10 other bishops in the U.S. who have expressed problems with the doctrinal issues in the book," said Ryan Lilyengren, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. Chairman Steve Dzida of Voice of the Faithful Orange County, the group that invited Robinson to speak, says the issues that Robinson deals with are not doctrinal in nature.
