"Now, as Supreme Pastor of the Church, the Pope maintains ... in this field a style of government that aims for the purification of the Church, eliminating the 'filth' that nests in it."

How much filth there is in the Church, and even among those who, in the priesthood, ought to belong entirely to him! How much pride, how much self-complacency!

This bishop is right on.

The principle attackers of the Church in this case are those who will immediately turn around and say that the Church maintains too hard a line on homosexuals.

Such ongoing slanders only further my view that the Church is undergoing a severe spiritual attack from the Father of Lies and his minions.
