Thanks for all the pings.

I think what many have lacked are simple exorcisms. Granted, Reconciliation the the Holy Eucharist are Sacraments more powerful than exorcism, but I hardly doubt that learned men would have seen through the fog if evil hadn't clouded their vision. Remember, Jesus commanded his Apostles to cast out demons.

If a wise man has to question, "What is a homosexual?" then how easily may a violence-prone killer pass as a priest through the ranks? What's the difference between such evil? A lot? I should think not. The same argument that's made for homosexuality is the same excuse a murderer might use at his own trial.

"Your honor, the defendant came from an abused background, has a violent father/family, was BORN like this."

Usually, the public only has to groan over a politician's rhetoric concerning the definition of "is". Now good people and all who desire a life of holiness must suffer clerical rhetoric too. Alas, prayer and fasting will remove this devil.

God Bless.
