"Although human weakness is universal and God's mercy infinite, the path to happiness and heaven for a Catholic does not lie in seeking to re-interpret what is right and wrong," the bishop said.

Hypocrisy at it's finest.The Church has active homosexuals and child abusers not only taking communion but "consecrating "the common wafer....and those Bishops know it..

The perverts can consecrate it but unless they are ordained they can not take it...unbelievable

They need to deal honestly with the issue within the ranks of priests before they can honestly make a public statement like above...IMHO

To expect the priesthood to be free of sinners before any given priest can speak the Truth on morals is to wait for the impossible.

The Truth is being spoken, and you have nothing but criticism.

You're making a fallacy of composition. Archbishop Pell is responsible for his own diocese, not anyone else's. Do you have the slightest shred of evidence that he knowingly tolerates active homosexuals or child molesters among his priests? Of course you don't. So what you're doing is impugning a man for the sins of others. Where I come, that's a sin all by itself.

Coming from you this is quite a mouthful. You have been one of the biggest hypocrites on this site recently. When someone you disagree with makes a personal attack you are quick to condemn them, but when its one of your friends, you can’t bring yourself to say a word, no matter how nasty it is. Once again:

You came out of no where with words intended to be hurtful and judgmental .I say look at the plank in your eye Pastor..

The funny thing here is that you have absolutely no problem, and no hesitation, in judging Xzins’ words. Yet, you couldn’t bring yourself to so much as mutter a mute criticism of the_doc’s diatribe. Your justifications were were hypocritical throughout the course of that discussion.

You are proving it yet again. You are willing to judge anyone you disagree with, but if someone in your group acts badly, you do not have the ability to condemn it. Morality does not change depending on who is doing the name calling.

This bishop is on our side Mom. And yes, they should eliminate every actively homosexual clergy from the ranks. The Church's mandate of 1961 has been violated by infiltrators who have gained much ground and control.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Agreed. I deplore the disruptive tactics of the activists during a Mass, but the Church has put itself in a position where it can only deny them communion (or take any other action against them) by engaging in extreme hypocrisy. Shouldn't the bishops be fetching those proverbial motes out of their own eyes, before going after the beams in other people's?
