But what do you do on the parish level?
I hate to say but the time is here when individual Catholic congregations are going to need to make some hard choices.
Because if they don’t make those hard choices then the political will is right now gathering around the world to make those choices anyway.
I’ll guarantee you that a number of families are leaving the RCC right now because they’re putting the safety of their children ahead of the disgusting behaviors of the church leadership.
That horrid, evil pervert of a Cardinal in Mexico spoke for a lot of the church leadership when he found more fault with the raped and abused children than he did with the cowardly demons who hide behind their vestments. He’s absolutely provoking a reaction and the sooner local parishes distance themselves from leadership the better.
And the practical solution for the long term is to put an end to the obviously errant notion that priests must be celibate.
Removing celibacy would make the homosexuals and the perverts almost instantly visible.
