The charges must be filed in the diocese where Mr. Kerry lives. If the Archdiocese of Boston rejects the case, Mr. Balestrieri can appeal it to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in Rome.

Ratzinger is as conservative in faith as a Cardinal can be. Even if it gets debated for years, He will make sure the faith stays strong.

Don't bet the farm on Ratzinger. I've heard he had a hand in waving off the bishops from unilaterally denying communion to pro-abort pretend Catholic politicians at the recent USCCB meeting -- McCarrick is rumored to have confered with Ratzinger before the meeting and was told to lay off -- the Vatican didn't like the building press pressure cooker. Just a rumor, but.......plus there is always the rumor going around about Ratzinger retiring..........

This story is fascinating in that it increasingly is lay Catholics who are sick and tired of apostasy.
