More than 140 theologians, educators and lay leaders have called for all U.S. bishops to submit their resignations to Pope Francis, much like Chile's 34 bishops did in May after revelations of sexual abuse and corruption, as a public act of penance and a "willing abdication of earthly status." "Today, we call on the Catholic Bishops of the United States to prayerfully and genuinely consider submitting to Pope Francis their collective resignation as a public act of repentance and lamentation before God and God's People," said a statement, posted in English and Spanish on the Daily Theology blog on Friday.
I'm more interested in waking them up. The last two years have been a real wakeup for lifelong Democrats. They are realizing that the party they once were proud to belong to is no more. That's why so many are walking away. There is no hope for restoring it to a party that is for America. That's why sane Democrats are leaving and #WalkAway has become a movement. Catholics need to understand that they are not getting their church back. The tipping point was reached a long time ago. Bennie apparently tried to fix things and was ousted for his efforts. Frankie was put in by the same corrupt homosexual/pedophile mafia that "encouraged" Bennie to "retire". The takeover is complete. There is no mechanism for the laity to reverse this. You choices as a catholic are to be a part of this new catholic church or to leave.
I could paint you with as broad a brush, but I won’t stoop to your level. What you should know is that the Communists from the thirtie on have planted gays and straight commies into the seminaries with the idea of corrupting the church fom within.
And Satan only attacks his enemies, not his friends— those who are already in his power.
Wrong. a Christian of any denomination will tell you that our strongest weapon is prayer. Trust me, millions of Catholics are doing just that, and working as the body of Christ to right the ship.
Christ will win in the end, count on it.
‘That brings it into focus,,
An American Reformation.
If that's the case, then they have succeeded. What's the plan to get them out?
What good will that do? Bergoglio will only appoint worse bishops. The only way to correct the Church’s problems is to STOP FEEDING THE BEAST. No money for anything until they get their act cleaned up.
Christ will win in the end, count on it.
What good has prayer done? How many people at the upper echelons has Frankie forced out and replaced with his own henchmen? Whatever was achieved by PJII and Bennie has been undone or is in the process of being undone by Frankie. Tell me anything good that has come out of Frankie being at the top. Salvation and fixing the homosexual/pedophile priest problem seem to be pretty low on Frankie's priority list. Importing more third world types into Europe and "fixing" global warming are much higher on his list. I don't see much that catholics can cheer about.
The Pope should do mass excommunications of offending bishops and priests and for the guilty Cardinals call them to Rome, strip them of their badges of office and publically excommunicate them with the old bell, book and candle ritual televised for the world to see. There also needs to be a new papal encyclical reiterating the Church’s condemnation of homosexuality.
Francis is not the whole church. We’ve survived worse.
I talked to a Catholic guy friend from Pittsburgh who said he doesn’t believe this latest news and he thinks it’s a setup by lawyers getting rich and people wanting to take down the Catholic church, that he never saw evidence of all this supposed abuse and bad behavior while growing up in a western Pennsylvania parish as a young boy and he refuses to watch the news anymore because of it. Food for thought. The local leftie Pittsburgh paper for my area has headlines today, Catholics enraged. Stoking the fires. Just saying. I personally am afraid to say what I really feel even in this public forum because of the pressure to condemn and group think.
He was installed by the homosexual/pedophile mafia that ousted Bennie. Who do you think his allegiance is to? Certainly not God. Their takeover of the church is complete. It's over. Done. Pray all you want. The homosexuals and pedophiles have taken over the catholic church. The church has already split several times over the centuries. It's going to split again. But until it does, your choice is to remain part of a corrupt immoral church or to walk away. Because nothing is going to change. When Frankie is gone, he will be replaced by the same corrupt immoral cardinals that installed him. Only by then, their ranks will have grown even stronger. Here's the question every catholic should ask themselves. Do I dare leave my children alone with a priest? I know I certainly would never.
Britain has Muslim “grooming gangs” that carry out organized child rape.
Our grooming gang is the RC Church.
I’ll walk away from the Church that Christ founded when Hell freezes over.
I hope you at least have the sense to never allow any of your children or grandchildren to ever be left alone with a priest.
No kids, but thanks for the tip.
Bernie Law, Ted McCarrick, Bill Keeler, Jim Timlin, Spell man, etc. etc.
etc. etc. The list is too long for me to reiterate here.
Ostrich!
Thanks for playing....
I’ll walk away from the Church that Christ founded when Hell freezes over.

St. Paul says to not even eat with an unrepentant sinner.
Rome demands that you take Communion from unrepentant sinners and instead of expelling them, shuffles and promotes them while protecting them from justice.
I’m having some trouble seeing where Roman Catholicism is any kind of church any more when they’re contradicting the Holy Spirit’s commands.
Jesus himself said that he would remove the lampstand of faithless churches, and the Vatican is looking pretty faithless to me.
Jesus promised that the gates of Hell would not prevail against his Church, and they won’t. My priest is a very holy man, as are the vast majority of priests. I have no qualms about dining with him.
I don’t consider those “priests” who do these things to really be priests—clearly they only feigned their faith and their vows, and are no more priests than you or I.
Remember, the left has been infiltrating the Church for decades. those commies and queers were never true believers. Of course, the Church needs to tear them out, root and branch.\
Do you send your kids to public schools? Because they are 100 times more likely to be molested there than in a Catholic Church. that is a fact.
