Bill Donohue is a loyal Catholic blinded by his devotion. He needs to recognize that the Catholic Church has been permeated by vile homosexuals. They will never gracefully or voluntarily release their grip. Their intent is to scrap three millennium of Judeo-Christian consensus that rightly condemns this destructive abomination. The homosexual deviants with to change Church doctrine and teaching. They wish to make it compatible with modern hedonistic culture that celebrates their sick perversion. Pope “who am I to judge Francis is their champion.
I’m in Louisville. The Cardinals are big here.
Cardinal Wuerhl is part of the problem,too. When he arrived in Wash DC from Pittsburgh he was interviewed on a local radio conservative talk show. I listened to it and from what I heard from him even then he just sounded so creepy but it was what he was saying, too. Well, after that I did a little research on him and lo & behold, I found evidence from reports of seminarians, etc about his sexual proclivities. It was just story after story about “Donna”. Since the Pennslyvania scandal broke a few weeks I went back to see if the stories still held and they were wiped clean.
Undo respect at the feet of church ‘elites’ is one of the reasons child rape, molestation, and cover-ups are common in the Catholic Church.
True ‘elites’ are held to a higher standard - not a lower one...
His typical objectivity has been compromised by design.
Win some, lose some. :)
I very carefully avoid “catholic caucus” threads. When that isn’t in the title, it’s free game and a spade needs to be called a spade. I see the Catholic church today as a form of Hillary Clinton. In spite of all the hijinx going on, she is still walking free. And the same with the church. People are still members.
It’s quite fascinating to me. Well, that and the funny hats.
The fact that you would make a joke on a thread about children being sexually molested is very telling. And now it's two jokes.
My joke is not about children being molested. I’m laughing at the fact that we are putting up with yet another broad sex scandal in that church. When are people going to wake up?
It’s not funny at all, really. But I’m laughing at those willing to endlessly discuss this publicly but not do what is necessary - vote with your feet.
Donahue, usually a consistent and able defender of the Church, seems this time to be ignoring Bishop Vigano’s allegation that Wuerl was specifically informed of McCarrick’s behavior on at least two occasions, once by Vigano himself. But perhaps more importantly, Donahue appears to be tone-deaf as to exactly whose “scalp” traditional Catholics are seeking.
When a priest is accused by a minor or the minor's parent(s), bishops need to call the police station - not the Vatican or psychiatrist. Furthermore, bishops who do not immediately report sexual abuse accusations to civil authorities need to be charged with aiding and abetting.
Wuerl has fled the jurisdiction, as far as I can tell. Let’s see if he comes back from Rome.
Bill Donohue gets paid around $500K a year. Given the fact that any criticism of the hierarchy would put his fat salary in jeopardy. Given that fact I don’t think anything he writes or says can be considered credible.
the bishops had no institutionalized mechanism for assessing sexual offenses
institutionalized mechanism for assessing sexual offences. One has to think about the words a bit.
Correct problems definition helps solve the problem.
(this is a worldly perspective).
1) if the problem is homos, there are only two ways to prove they are homos: You catch them in the act or they self identify. After that it is accusations, you can’t prove and there will be supporters on both sides of individuals. in essence you repeat the INQUISITION.
2) If the issue is pedophiles, you have much of the same problem.
3) If the issue is corruption, removing a leader isn’t going to do it. The institution is part of the problem.
So what is the solution folks? We all spout off with ideas and various comments. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF MAN THESE PROBLEMS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE, AND ALWAYS WILL BE HERE ON EARTH.
Now there is a solution, but we aren’t going to like it. It has been implemented multiple times in history. Anyone want to talk about that?
A dear friend sent this to me and it is quite illuminating how a man who would become pope and then resign saw much of this almost 50 years ago

If they had only listened, but seem that they were beguiled by the wealth and positions rather than the faith
God Bless
No priest, cardinal or Pope can save our eternal soul, or lose our eternal soul.....the TRUE Church, which the Catholic Church is, will NEVER be destroyed!!
I’m guessing that you are a Protestant, maybe Evangelical...am I right?
