Me thinks thou doest protest too much.
If you think that the existence of despicable perpetrators of despicable sins among clergy who abandon their vows for the sorry pottage of faggotry, or the cowardice of craven bishops who cover up such despicable sins and play musical chairs with the perverts, is going to affect the faith of any adequately catechized Roman Catholic, you are wrong. The Mass is still the Mass. The sacraments are still the sacraments. The truth of Catholicism still is and always will be the Truth.
Furthermore, no amount, no volume, no combination of instances of weepy, wailing emotional slop will justify the likes of Attorney Garabedian, Attorney MacLeish and many whom they represent in their riudiculous pretense that they should have some say in the governance of the Church itself. They should not. No one in the pews should. No one outside the fold should. We trust that none will. However terrible the experiences of those victimized by their perverted pastors, they have no general or special qualifications whatsoever to dictate terms of Church governance. Eventually they will return to the obscurity for which they are so much better qualified. The Roman Catholic Church is not going to degenerate into their little soap opera of victimhood. Pay them their damages to the extent of archdiocesan resources and move on to the next emotionalism of the moment: "Neighbor kills child's pussycat: details at ten!!!!! There oughta be a law!!!" It is Bernard Cardinal Law, Bishop Thomas Murphy, Bishop Banks, Bishop Thomas Daily, Bishop O'Keefe, and Bishop John McCormack who are responsible for the Boston coverups and obstructions of justice. It is the job of the government to investigate, charge, try, convict and, if appropriate as I think it is, to incarcerate each and every one for a long time, while taking careful opportunity to see to it that the miscreant lavender queens and child molesters in the priesthood also be jailed to the extent the law allows.
As a Catholic, I will applaud each and every jail sentence as one more step in purging and purifying the Roman Catholic Church in America of these liberal pests and pederasts and justice obstructors and AmChurch denizens who have done such damage to the institution of the Roman Catholic Church here which they were entrusted to lead.
There are probably others who deserve jail as well. I personally root for William Cardinal Keeler of Baltimore who threatened parents objecting to lesbian how and why to do it courses at Loyola Girls High School in Baltimore and Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles as next to go. If a thoroughgoing purge of the American Church is not possible during this papacy, I expect that such a purge will be a major part of the policy enacted by the next conclave beforee it chooses the next pope, hopefully a young and vigorous pillar of orthodoxy who can wield a flaming sword against the deep corruption here.
All that having been said, make no mistake about it, many who are non-Catholic critics on this issue go far beyond truth and justice to seek opportunistically to score points off Jesus Christ's own Church. Catholics who are Catholics recognize that agenda as the malicious bigotry that it is.
The sinner who has the Truth has more truth that the less sinful person who has not the Truth.
