I’ve spent close to ten years reading the bile filled posts of so called Conservatives who hate Catholics and the Catholic church.
Such people on here might be surprised to learn the only people who hate us just as much are rage filled progressives.
“... of so called Conservatives who hate Catholics and the Catholic Church”.
I am remembering my Confirmation. A slight hand on the cheek to represent the life of hatred, ridicule and mockery to follow when we made the decision to become Catholics.
“...Such people on here might be surprised to learn the only people who hate us just as much are rage filled progressives....”
And did it ever occur to anyone that a lot of the “child molesting” accusations might in fact be smear tactics from the “rage filled Progressives” - the sworn enemy of the Catholic Church and the Christian world in general - designed to bring about shame, distrust, and hatred of Catholics and diminish the influence of the Church on society?
It’s what they do. They’re masters of it.
I’m sure there have been some priests that were justifiably accused of it. I’m not naive to believe that those things didn’t happen. And they should be removed and prosecuted.
But this Pope is a good man, and he set about going after any and all who tried to cover that up.
