Of course there has to be a great deal more. I'm thinking, an annual public renewal of priestly vows in every parish, which a particular emphasis on priest's commitment to chaste celibacy (It would be an opportunity for married people, teachers and catechists, as a group, to commit to teaching and living all of our holy doctrines about the chastity proper to our state in life.)

I would like to advocate for disbanding the USCCB as well. I used to use "USCCB Delenda Est) as a half-ironic tagline, but there's no irony now. I really think the USCCB --- although in theory, canonically, it should not do this --- tends to suborn groupthink among our bishops, and thus deprives individual bishops of the ordinary judgment we chould expect from a spiritual father and not a "Corporation Man."

And ther's more. But I t5hought this would be a start. Itis not essentaially a political issue. It is essentially an spiritual issue good vs evil, and our consciences before God.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts are that the criminals and their willing accomplices need to be brought to justice and made to face severe penalties. I can only hope that bastards like this evil Cardinal in Mexico face their ultimate justice at the hands of a vengeful mob of parents and victims.

May God bless and comfort all faithful Catholics in this critical time for prayer.

My priest told me that our Archbishop was very hurt by all of this as was he.

I have an inkling that action is coming!

Thank you for speaking out, Mrs Don-o. If enough of us do, even the weak-kneed will realize it’s time for real reform. Here is my letter to the bishops.

If he’s not condemning homo priests, he’s deflecting.

Abusing any child is beyond terrible. But it is the culture built brick-by-brick by the spawns of Satan, the homos, that infects all priests with at least the thought of indulging their own obscenities.

Burn out the sodomites, and the other perverts who hide in the dark and deep forest created by them will find it more difficult to hide their own sick evil.

The Catholic Church hierarchy is infested with wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Someone needs to step up and clean out these abscesses, but I don’t see that happening, as the worst of the worst appear to be in charge, in Rome.

First of all, thank-you for this posting. Second,the prophets mince now about the issue of sin. Third, we all need to repent and be converted to Christ. Fourth, a massive house cleaning is in order.

God be with you on this. If this is ever going to be sorted, it has to be the laity leading; the Vatican is too compromised.

But if this starts to gain traction, be warned that you will have everything they can muster coming against you.

Keep us updated.

The parishes, the congregations, need to have power to call and remove priests.

They have zero control. They need total control over this. It is their church.
