Before the airing of the current crisis, those fighting the lavendar mafia had their anger stoked to fury by the official denials and episcopal reprimands of the laity who dared to speak the truth. In some cases I think the battle against this institutionalized evil has almost led some good souls to the brink of madness or at least poor judgment -- while others simply left the Church and became Orthodox Christians or just gave up.

One of the main reasons for the current scandals is that the heirarchy ignored the obvious warning signs for way too long, including an increasingly militant homosexual presence in the clergy, which was compounded by covering up sexual misconduct. I am sympathetic to the victims of this awful policy and the good, holy priests who have unfairly been tainted in an environment where (no doubt) some people see an opportunity to turn a tragedy into an agenda and a quick buck.

I've got a book here in my possession called, "The Homosexual Network" by Father Enrique Rueda written in 1982. It lists dozens upon dozens of organizations which had as their goal to get homo's into the seminaries. And not just in the Catholic Church, but all the mainline denominations.

It is not uncommon for a bishop to have important details kept from him. When you have Sister Femi-Nazi running the chancery and only allowing certain people to see the bishop, I can see how some bishops could become essentially clueless in some important matters. I know in our own diocese of Dallas we had a nun who brought in a sex ed program WITHOUT the bishop's knowledge and only by a miracle were we able to undermine her effort.

Bishops need to be extremely vigilant as to who is feeding them information. They need to be on top of everything. They need to listen closely and follow JPII. They need to know about every new seminarian and every priest serving in his diocese. To not be vigilant is to court disaster.

Our Pope is kicking butt, in case anyone has not caught it. It will be interesting to see how the Cardinals act when they come back home. Father Rueda set it all out in detail just as the homo's were pushing for welcoming arms in the seminaries. Let us pray that they have the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing and put Sister Femi-Nazi in her place.
