-— How do you resolve the contradiction of Catholic Priests abusing Children or being a partner in a Homosexual Relationship while at the same time celebrating the Holy Mass.
Good enough for the priests, good enough for the Divorced people. If these evil priests are forgiven, so should the divorced People? -—
The denial of Communion is a public, ecclesiastical form of discipline for those who are in a public, objective state of mortal sin, or ‘scandal.’
If a priest is a known, unrepentant pedophile, he would certainly fall into that category. He would also be defrocked, presumably.
That's pretty hypocritical...We all know there were priests that were known pedophiles by their superiors and they continued in their positions while dishing out the Eucharist...
There are somewhere between ,8,000 and 30,000 Active Homosexual priests according to a book written by Father Cozzens at the time of the Scandal. Not only that, but there is current thought among the hirearchy to accept Homosexual couples into the Roman Catholic church. The Pope was part of these meetings.
Pounding on divorced catholics looks like bullying when compared to Homosexual Couples.
In the process Cardinal Burke was removed from his position because of these meetings.
note: Father Cozzens was in charge of Seminaries at the time of his Book.
