How do all these children have unsupervised contact with clergy? If I were a Catholic dad I’d let the priest know that if he’s ever alone with my kids he’ll find his nads in a shoebox.

What aggravates me is my parish priest NEVER saying a word about marriage, abortion, and certainly not the homosexual crisis in the church. He ignores it and always tries to make his 5 minute homilies tie into the gospel reading. Now he’s all man, becoming a priest at age 50. In his former life he had a construction business. There’s nothing he can’t build. I’ve talked him in confession about social issues and just shooting the breeze with him. He’s as conservative as they come, but when the Mass starts you know you’re not going to hear him tell the people in the pews about the evils of abortion or mention that marriage is a man and woman and nothing else. Not before elections or any other time. I mention this because some Catholics need to hear it because they vote democrat and I that for a fact.

Fr. Mike Schmitt just posted a video on the subject and it is worth the 16 minutes. He is angry and passionate and has a beautiful call to action.

When I was a grad student at Purdue, I attended the student parish. Annually, the student chaplain world give a sermon on sexual morality. We referred to it as his reading of the riot act. It was clear the students knew to whom he was talking. You could have heard a pin drop. Maybe we need more annual readings of the riot act. In the Latin Mass parish I attend, I,vex never heard a sermon on that topic.
