“Consider #7 a gentle correcting...”
difference being, no one corrected a veritable generation of Priests (a tiny subset of the total number of clergy to be sure) and now it has come to this, next is supoosedly going to be the Catholic Church in Italy.
To slough off what has happened, a failure of Hierarchy to deal with the situation, is to excuse the sitatuion.
Your polemics are interesting. You word your sentence to imply that a whole generation of priests needed correcting and then say it was just a tiny subset. That subset is definitely being corrected now (just ask those many priests who are in jail or worse) and dioceses are paying out their ears and letting themselves be raked by litigation (probably correct in doing so, but I’m no insider). The situation is not being excused and those clergy still living are being corrected as far as I can see.
In response to your earlier comment - in no way did I basically say one should be ashamed of scripture. I said you should be ashamed of yourself and you are not Scripture. Incidentally (I’m not sure if you’ve ever taken a logic course) you posited yourself as being incapable of error in interpreting scripture. Habemus papam!
