It's a fair article except for the headline. The liberals did their thing--and they are still doing it as they continue to age--but they are not the people who are suffering the consequences. The sufferers are children who were abused, children who were not properly taught their faith and have left the Church, and ordinary Catholics who have been maltreated by these same liberals. So I don't think it's a question of anyone receiving their just deserts, unless he means that God will straighten it all out in the next world.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. --Matthew 18:6

EXACTLY
It is the children of hard working parents who have sacrificed to pay the tuition to Catholic schools so their children would receive a decent education who have been utterly betrayed by these hypocrit Cardinals who should be in jail.
These people are disgusting
And the POPE sits on his hands and does nothing

Church needes a schism to survive

An excellent point, actually, and one that didn't strike me. Some would argue that the liberals are getting exactly what they want - a Church whose prestige is greatly diminished and the ability to ride to the 'rescue' with their 'solutions' of more lax rules, women priests, married priests, etc. In other words, if the poison is making you sick, a larger dose will surely help you recover.
