Read this correctly: Any vestige of Traditional thought is to be extinguished. At any cost.

Are you saying that the "traditional thought" of transferring pederast priests from parish to parish ought NOT to be extinguished? At any cost?

Paul Harvey read a story today that said that Canon Law imposes harsher penalties on priests who have sexual liaisons with women than those with minor children. In fact, Canon Law recommends that these men be "rehabilitated and returned to ministry."

This shouldn't surprise anybody.

Again, you have misinterpeted my words. Father is not being dismissed for his failure to complete ALL of the background checks. He is being dismissed because they want his parrish. They conveniently waited until Msgr. John was in an assisted-living facility before they moved in. The pastor at another North Dallas Catholic church complained to his secratary about not being able to get the finger print ink off his fingers, TWO DAYS AGO. He is not in full compliance. Will he be shown the door also? No he won't because he's not one of those 'stinking' traditional priest's. I would suspect that many pastors right now are running like banshee's to finish it all up.

How dare you infer that our good pastor is anything less than honest. We knew that he would have to move on someday, but we NEVER, NEVER thought that his reputation would be soiled in such a way. Here he is being lumped in with the likes of Rudy Kos. You should be ashamed of yourself. How can you even remotely think that you are defending the Church when you allow one of Christ's faithful pastor's to be spoken of in such a way?

By the way, we have so much respect for our pastor that we do not call him 'Steve'.
