That is what weak and bad theology gets you.
Congrats, church of Rome. You caught a real trophy.
Nailed it in one!
And another Christian comes to the Catholic church. Hopefully, he will bring more with him.
You are a bigot.
Protestant ministers have been molesting young people and children at a HIGHER rate than Catholic priests for many decades. Same with government school teachers.
And no one has instituted more strict, or effective, counter-measures that the Catholic Church in the U.S.
There’s no weeping and gnashing of teeth, the bible says this would happen. It’s just sad to see it coming to pass.
Gnashing of teeth?
LOL!!! Our loss is our gain!
‘Glandberger went on to say that shock, anger, sadness, despair and confusion among the reactions to the news.’
If these folks have such faith in their church why do they get upset at this man finding his own way? Sounds rather self centered. Christians need to stop fighting among themselves and follow Jesus. Love thy neighbor as thyself this is the greatest commandment.
I suppose p
ublic humiliation coupled with multimillion dollar court judgements tends to cause the development of such policies.
“Protestant ministers have been molesting young people and children at a HIGHER rate than Catholic priests for many decades. “
Well, the counter argument is that there is no power structure protecting pedophile Protestant ministers. Protestants are far more individualistic than others, so their identity is not tied to their church affiliation and are in no hurry to protect criminals and perverts within their “ranks.”
Based on my observation, Catholics, Islamics, Jews, and Hindus see accusation of criminal behaviors within their ranks as assault on their entire faith. They are simply much more insecure. Protestants and Buddhists don’t give a sh#t.
Sorry, a story like this proves nothing.
The main thing anyone needs to know about the church of Rome is that Paul’s LETTER to the ROMANS still applies .....
It is amazing how appropriate Romans was to the Romans, and how that letter STILL speak to Rome’s errors.
fishtank, born and raised RCC:

On my Catholic education:
8 years Catholic grade school
4 years Catholic high school
Weekly CCD classes by quite conservative Novus Ordo RCC priest
Parents subscribed to National Catholic Register, the Wanderer, Fidelity and The Remnant, and I read them while growing up.
I subscribed to Fidelity and Remnant in undergrad college and never stopped contending against modernism in the Catholic Church.”
You are correct.
When billions of dollars are NOT at stake, the American bishops are as torpid as giant turtles.
The notorious homosexual, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, refuses to obey Canon Law when it comes to the reception of Communion by pro-abortion politicians. He lies, and says that he does not wish to “apply the penalty” of Denial of Communion.
But Denial of Communion is NOT a penalty. It is not, that is, something that a bishop has discretion about. Rather, it is MANDATED by the moral law and Canon Law.
Wuerl is NOT exercising legitimate discretion. Rather, he is SINNING. He is allowing scandal to continue. He is DISOBEYING Canon 915. He is NOT acting within his rights or authority as a bishop.
Wuerl is afraid, of course, that if he instructed his priest not to give Communion to pro-abortion politicians, Nancy Pelosi would give the signal to the press to destroy him. His notorious sexual activities would be splashed all over the front pages.
This will make one interesting episode of “Journey Home”
Welcome home, Ulf.
Thanks for posting.
Well, now he's not a trophy anymore, just a layman.

Which, if you were part of the generation raised in the immediate aftermath of Vatican II, proves only that you are *absolutely and utterly* ignorant of real Catholicism. You got ZERO authentic Catholic catechesis by being "born and raised" anything, or going to "Catholic school" anything. I know; I lived it; I had to educate myself about my faith by *reading actual books on my own* as an adult.
Yes on EWTN. Is about people who came home to the Catholic Church from other denominations or religions.

I watch past episodes on youtube. EWTN has their own channel there and you may watch that, Mother Angelica and more on it!
