Exactly right. Parishioners are REALLY getting angry with the gay molesters. They’re ready to march on more than a few rectories and give them some Western Justice.
People should not underestimate the feelings of the rank and file Catholic, who, because of their faith, are generally conservative. Sure, there’s plenty of liberals still, but they’re usually not regulars. Christmas and Easter Catholics, called “Chreasters”.
The fact that this scandal is back again, when the Church Fathers promised to take care of it and punish the evil-doers, is a burning hot ember right now.
These are the folks who have been defending the Church tooth and nail from attacks. Now the prelates have no one left to protect them except their fellow pervs in the clergy and the press.
Great Homily. Read between the lines and you will see Fr. Lankeit calls out the highest prelates.
