It makes me furious as well.
We must separate these vile contemptible priests from the Church. They are enemies of the Church and compassion was not the solution. Forgiveness for their sins was not the magisterium’s to give without proper penitence, reparation for transgressions and submission to the penalties of civil law.
Come back to the Church brother, we need you!

You're very kind.

I'd love to return to the Church, but I can't. Not until there's something approaching real repentance. And we'll have that only when they get rid of the celibacy rule.
