My heart is truly broken over Francis’ attack on the church he is supposed love and guard against destruction. Godly men like Burke now too well the sting of Francis’ betrayal.
I grew up Catholic, went to Jesuit university. And then stopped attending mass because they absolutely HATE women. Apparently, God doesn’t love women.
Then just a few years ago, I was going to an Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting in a very nice building on campus of another Catholic university. Felt really creepy passing a certain building on beautiful wooded campus. Turns out that’s where the pedophile priests live. Stopped going to that meeting. But I did manage to totally forgive my poor afflicted mother.
