I admire and encourage you in your orthodoxy, but shy away from calling cardinals “wicked.”

Certainly, the St. Patrick’s Day parade issue is disturbing, but as we are not privy to all of the goings on and challenges, and which battles are the ones to fight, I am not going to second guess them. Rather, we should pray for them, and ask the Holy Spirit to inspire them.

I am glad Cardinal Burke remains a strong voice, as well as the Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. I hope others look to him, and seek to emulate him.

We are all imperfect. Let us pray for all who genuinely seek the truth, and those who have heard the call to minister to His people.

Giving Communion to pro-aborts is a mortal sin. O’Malley, Dolan, Wuerl, and most other bishops insist on committing this mortal sin. People who—especially those who are thoroughly instructed in moral theology—insist on committing mortal sin are wicked.

Dolan’s decision with regard to the St. Patrick’s parade is manifestly wicked. There are no “behind-the-scenes” goings-on that can excuse it.

I will call those who are manifestly wicked, “wicked.”

Dear SpirituTuo,

“... but shy away from calling cardinals ‘wicked.’”

Would you “shy away” from calling one of the homosexual clergy (including some cardinals) who molested adolescent males “wicked”?
