Having read that letter before, it is a very clear and concise statement of all to real charges aginst our apostate bishops, and against the USCCB itself.

Over the top? Not in the least. In fact, the temptation in write such a letter is to resort to even more rhetoric, and even the (very appropriate, in this case) use of expletives. Since our bishops have effectively defected from the faith of our fathers, and have taught nothing but butterflies and rainbows to our children - losing two generations of them to the faith - this letter is entirely justified.

By rights - in a kinder and gentler era - these ecclesiastical hooligans would be either executed for heresy/apostacy, or sentanced to a long period of enforced penance in a monastary on bread, water, and hard labor prayer & silence. In reperation for their sins in office, and for the good of their souls.

Sorry, but for any good Catholic - and certainly those with children to raise in the faith - the time for diplomacy and platitudes with these lewd buffoons in round collars must stop. In the name of God we must declare war on such traitorous prelates as these who sell Christ again for 30 pieces of silver, if we are to consider ourselves frineds of Christ. If they had any "right" to be treated with respect, they lost that a long time ago.

No, in my opinion it is high time that good, devout Catholics get mad, and do something constructive. It is precisely because it is considered politically incorrect to use "angry tones" in morally just criticism that the Church is in the shape it is in.

The house has been on fire for 40 years. Meek, subserviant politeness to the arsonists is neither appropriate, nor sane.

I'm not sure how declaring war on people makes one a friend of Christ. And I'm no pollyanna when it comes to war.

Our greatest weapon is our rosary. Further, we need to re-educate the children of God who sit in the pews on Sunday ignorant of the blasphemy befalling them. It is our obligation to remind them of the incredible history of His Church; His Saints; the significance and purity and necessity of His Holy Sacraments. Lastly, we need to join with them in discussing the writings of the greatest thinkers of Roman Catholicism - none of whom sat with the majority assembled for the "....pastoral...." V2.

You are absolutely right, thor76. A conversion of the faithful is needed. Now!
