"I didn't tell anyone at the 8 a.m. Mass or the 11 a.m. Mass (what to do in their bedrooms), so I'm certainly not going to tell anyone here at the 3 p.m. Mass," he said, receiving more cheers and applause. "Certainly no one is going to push me to stand at the pulpit and explain what is intimate."

Two problems with this statement, Father. And both are serious.

First, if you were aware there was a certain kind of sin of ANY sort common among those attending your Mass at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. and you didn't explain the seriousness of sin and consequences of persisting in sin to those in attendance, you are likely guilty of a sin of omission yourself. More importantly to your parishioners, you are failing to properly instruct them in the Catholic faith.

The second problem is that, by your above statement, you are implying that the bedroom is a sort of "free to sin" zone. You're implying that it is alright to do whatever you want in private, provided you act according to God's law in public. This is encouraging terrible hypocrisy of a sort Jesus specifically preached against.

Father, you have abandoned true care of these troubled Catholics for the sake of gaining their applause and making yourself a secular celebrity. You're using the Mass to further your popularity while you ignore the teachings of the Church and encourage others to persist in sin. You bring scandal to the Church as serious as any molestor.

I pray for your sake you have a bishop more interested in the state of your soul than you seem interested in the souls of those in your care. If so he will kindly remove you from your current assignment, which is clearly tempting you to occasions sin.

Your post reminds me of a vision of Padre Pio, that I was told about, have not read, but was told He saw Christ with all these priests and bishops behind Christ, and Christ pointed and called them "butchers".
