You don't want to "help" Olmsted; you want to destroy priests. If Olmsted is the man of God you paint him to be, he will refuse your "help."

It is becoming clear that Bishop Olmstead understand the nature of the problem with the Phoenix Diocese.

What the heck are you talking about? Phx_RC asked for information. Information is not a bad thing.

Obviously, some of the priests in that diocese are in need of correction. That they are corrected benefits everyone in the diocese, including the priests themselves.

This is what it looks like when a bishop just does his job. We should be seeing this sort of action from the chanceries all over the country. That we are not only points to the sad state of the episcopacy in the U.S.

"What you are seeing is a move by the ultra-conservative branch of the Catholic Church to bring the parish priests in line to the bishop's thinking," he said.

Wow. I call it a move by the obeyers-of-Church-law-and-Church-doctrine branch of the Catholic Church to bring the parish priests in line with doctrine and Church law.

Then you wonder why people think you're a troll. You're on the wrong side of nearly every issue.

Do you really think that a man who is openly going against the church teachings in regard to sex should really call himself a priest?

No child-molesting, resurrection-denying scumbag is too corrupt to be a priest in your view, eh?

I missed the child molesting in these priests background.

Can you give me some specific cites?

"I missed the child molesting in these priests background."

They're homo activists. Homo activists are homos. Homos bugger underage boys.

The sky is blue, the sea is wet. One and one are two; two and two are four. Anything else in the category of "the bleeding obvious" that you need explained, your liberalness?

Conjecture.

I asked for some specific citations, and you give me musings.

I assume you have nothing specific against these priests.

Resurrection-denying is okay, but child molesting is where you draw the line?

Good ole sinky, always good for a laugh.

Context and citation backing up your statements would be welcome.

The poster mentioned two bald allegations against this group:

1)resurrection-denying and

2) child-molesting

yet you objected only to child-molestation.






Its not too hard to follow. I know it is late for you, but try to keep up.

I'd like some citations, backing that up. "Mentioning" is not convincing.
