“What evidence? The church/Vatican have been HIDING behind secret councils for years, and asking for/claiming immunity as well”
Actually no. All of the relevant facts in the cases at hand are known.
“From the AP in 2005:”
Again, you rely on the liberal media.
“So perhaps you should change your NO evidence to SUPPRESSED evidence.”
In the cases at hand there is no suppressed evidence. That was made clear enough by the judge - Fr. Thomas Brundage - in the worst of the cases being bandied about.
“BTW, if you think I have been pursuing this for 30 years, that I am a liberal, or a dim witted anti-Catholic, then you really are misinformed. However, I think you are just using that as a rhetorical device.”
No. I have been correct in all of my characterizations thus far. I am apparently the only one between us who is actually informed about the matters at hand. I, for instance, have read the statement and listened to the podcast from the actual judge in the Fr. Murphy case and you apparently have not. He is far more credible than any lib from the AP. Please note, as Fr. Brundage made clear on a number of occasions, NO ONE FROM THE LIBERAL MEDIA has attempted to contact him about this case. NO ONE.
“I have been too busy enjoying the life God gave me and trying to find ways to serve Him (when I am walking as I should) to have any real interest in what the “pope” is doing or not doing.”
And yet you insist you are informed about the matters at hand? Som you’re too busy to “have any real interest in what the “pope” is doing or not doing” and you insist on relying EXCLUSIVELY ON THE LIBERAL MSM and yet you also insist that you are not misinformed? Hilarious.
Vladimir, enjoy your Catholicism. Hopefully, the Catholic heirarchy will do all in its power to remove priests who violate their vows and who violate their parishioners.
Protect the flock - DEFROCK!
Since you have stirred my interest in the case (Fr. Lawrence Murphy) and Ratzinger’s possible knowledge of, or involvement with it, I have read some of the pertaining documents, which include some letters to Ratzinger.
So others can avail themselves of this information and form their own conclusions:
