RTV in Rome. . .
CNN's Delia Gallagher asks Cardinal Cupich the million-dollar question just before Cardinal Cupich loses his red hat. Reporting from the Vatican, Michael Matt comments on what's fast becoming a 'Pink Elephant Summit, with everyone ignoring the real problem but going on and on about 'synodality,' 'collegiality', 'pilgrim church', 'accompaniment', 'path forward', 'radical listening'--pretty much anything BUT the pink elephant in the room. And now these guys claim that because they've been listening to abuse victims here in Rome this week, they now know it's time to get serious about the abuse of minors. Are they joking?
In 2019, these grown men had to travel all the way to Rome to figure out how serious abuse is? If this is true, they should resign for simply being way too out of touch with reality to be entrusted with the handing of this worldwide crisis. By the way, when are these men going to get around to apologizing to God for having done nothing while His bride was raped again and again over the course of decades?

The point is this is a spiritual battle and what's most telling in this report is the complete absence of any recognition of that on the part of the commission. The Church hierarchy is corrupt on a wholesale level. The new book In the Closet of the Vatican should be required reading. The author has done extensive documented investigation and claims that up to 80% of the hierarchy is homosexual at this point. A thorough cleansing from the top down is what's needed, but it's not clear that's going to happen from Francis.
I’ll pass on the book. The author is a homosexual himself.
The Cardinals and Bishops are making this a complete waste of time. Instead of getting down to work and busting out the queer priests from the priesthood, they are just offering us platitudes. Come on guys, let us do what we have to ultimately do. Get rid of the garbage!
