There is a somewhat below-the-radar campaign going on, initiated by Cdl. Blase Cupich of Chicago (an active supporter of all things homosexual in the Church) to rehabilitate the image of his predecessor, Cdl. Joseph Bernardin. To be clear, Bernardin was the prelate who put the homosexual-bishop machine on steroids here in the United States and almost single-handedly helped bring down the Church in America.
But in a massive attempt to rewrite U.S. Church history, Cupich is having diocesan newspapers all over the country publish his propaganda that Bernardin was some kind of hero, an opponent of child sex-abuse who developed a plan to combat it 10 years before the news broke all over America (courtesy of the Boston Globe's Spotlight reporting in 2002).
For Cupich to now try and paint Bernardin as some kind of revolutionary, forethinking genius who was light-years ahead of everyone else is total nonsense. First, the former cardinal and homosexual predator Theodore McCarrick was draped in the same honors as he publicly steered the U.S. hierarchy's official response to the 2002 revelations. Of course, at the exact same time, he was hopping in the sack with vulnerable seminarians — following a long history of homosexual child-abuse on top of his seminarian track record. In other words, a prelate taking the lead on sex abuse means absolutely nothing. In fact, appearing to be a leader in the area is a really good cover.
...
Bernardin rose to power because John Dearden, the massively heterodox cardinal of Detroit — pro-homosexual, pro–women's ordination, pro–everything opposed to Tradition — raised him by his own hand to become the de facto leader of the U.S. bishops in 1969.

The thing is, what percentage of abuse victims were girls? Or is it impolite to bring that up?
Catholics who have a comprehensive understanding of the history of the Church and its doctrines and dogmas KNOW (even if they do not profess it publicly) that the entity universally known as the Catholic Church IS NO LONGER CATHOLIC in any meaningful sense. Since that is true, millions of people the world over who believe they are Catholics are actually Protestants because their parish churches no longer teach, govern, and sanctify the faithful in accordance with the truths of the faith!
My guess is priests don’t abuse girls because there’s always a woman around, usually in the music ministry or ccd, willing to have an affair or an “affair-lite” with them.
This is par for the course for the Church. I mean they got everyone to believe Jesus was a God didn’t they?
When and where any clergical supporter of homo sexual activity appear they should be confronted by their parishioners present after showing their disgust with vigor, leave the scene (church) emptying it.
