What kind of evil did these men teach from the pulpit? My guess is they stressed 'forgiveness' without repentance... Kind of like what all liberals stress in liberal churches today.
From the pulpit and in the confessional. RCF (Roman Catholic Faithful) carefully documents the sins of both the Springfield Diocese (Bishop Ryan) and the Archdiocese of Chicago (Cardinal Bernardin-O). Ryan is gone —defrocked; and Bernardino is down below where the floor is paved with Bishops’ and Cardinals’ skulls.
In the confessional, when a confused young man would confess a homosexual sin, these evil men told them “It’s OK. It’s in your nature. God forgives all sins. Don’t worry about it.” (RCF interviews with homosexual men who lived at Bishop Ryan’s house and shared his bed.)
NOTE: I am a cradle Catholic. I faithfully attend Mass and receive the Sacraments...going on 80 years old. I am so sick and tired of waiting for Bishops, Popes, and Cardinals to “fix” the homo problem in the Church. Unfortunately, this will not happen in my lifetime.
