It’s fascinating to watch RCs defend the indefensible. Once again it proves they will follow any corruption anywhere if it is spoken by someone in a dress and expensive shoes.
It would be refreshing to just once see some Catholic condemn the activity of their priests in behavior like this but even more, the inaction displayed by the bishops and cardinals.
If they had clamped down hard on this at the first sign of trouble, I’ll be t 90% of what followed wouldn’t have happened.
By excusing, covering up, rearranging, etc. they’ve just become participants in it all.
