Shameful that these unfaithful shepherds joined the wolves in attacking the lambs in their flock. They should be fired, of course.
It seems the leadership of my Church is full of homosexuals and craven, politically correct bureaucrats. Its very discouraging
I’ve got to change the Jesuit joke slightly.
The main diff between Catholic laity and Rome & leaders of Catholic Universities and (some) Catholic schools is that the laity is still Catholic.
It’s a evil place filled with evil men.
There is no reason for me to go there, unless I wish to be harmed.
I’ll not speak for anyone else.
Very dark days indeed.
I don’t hear anymore of any efforts to rid the Church of the homos in general; punish the one guilty of sexual assault and other improprieties.
Could it be that it is impossible to clean up the Church without a very public indictment on homosexuals and homosexuality?
Either mortal man does it on his own, or leaves the heavy lifting to Almighty God. Let me tell you, if God has to do it, it won’t be pretty. But His wrath will be effective and get the job done, you can bank on that.
Plenty of Old Testament documentation to show that God does not fool around when it’s time for the hammer to come down.
All of us know good Catholics who say they want the RCC to quit shielding pedophiles, quit giving up Chinese Catholics to Communist overlords, quit taking up for every leftist talking point, etc. When those of us on the outside looking in say, "Tell them you'll leave if they don't reform" they always bring up the Eucharist.
As a Protestant it's hard for me to relate. To me the thinking is, "Fine. If you believe the bread and wine are Jesus' body and wine and it gives you special contact with Him, that's great. Do it elsewhere, in your home, or another church, at least temporarily until the RCC reforms. We're all better off if you stand firm and the RCC does the necessary reforms." The response is always that it's not a real Eucharist unless an RCC priest blesses the elements. They never say, "I can't pray to St. Augustine at home" or "I can't read the apocrypha books somewhere else". The Eucharist is probably the only belief that's different from the beliefs of other Christians in that it's the one they've been brainwashed into believing to let RCC leaders own them by. I'm sure their practice of letting only RCC members participate in it was part of the brainwashing process.
I wish my Christian brothers in the Catholic church didn't have worldly leaders holding them by the gonads. When I learned my Protestant church used some of its offering money every year to support abortion lobbyists I first tried to get them to reform. I even told them I'd leave and take my offerings and my volunteer time to somewhere else that doesn't support Moloch. When they refused to reform I left. I'm in another church that now is 100% into Jesus and not worldly gods.
I wish that on my Catholic brothers. Try to reform your church. If they don't then leave. Don't let a traditional belief hamstring you from serving Jesus for real.
Excellent. My thoughts exactly.
The teens should sic their lawyers on the diocese. Go after them for libel.
Totally far fetched of course, but boy wouldn’t that be something?
I agree with most of what this articles says. The Bishop is an absolute disgrace. My one annoyance with the article is that the kid did not "smirk." That is a loaded term and I hate that conservative writers seem to go along with the MSM characterization of this kid as "smirking."
There is no legal definition of “smirk.” Try that in a court with me as the defense attorney. I’ll have you shredding the Webster dictionary and eating it one page at a time.
The Church is screwing the boys once again.
Excellent post!
I would immediately yank my child out of there.
I suspected maybe the bishop was acting spitefully because his advances had been rejected by one of the boys. Now that I’ve seen his picture, I think I was on the right track.
It seems likely that it will be many years before the hierarchy of the Church regains any credibility. In fact, it may never happen.
Why would anyone be a catholic ?
I’ll
Keep asking
We are brainwashed by the Holy Spirit, He shows us reality and has for 2000 years.
And it's not, and we can go back to Ignatius of Antioch (ca AD 110) to document that belief.
If you're searching for a church whose leadership is not composed of sinners, you'll be looking for a long time.
