I swear the World’s Deep State is working together to destroy the USA: The Heretic Pope, the messed up elections, the southern Invasion and probably a lot more I have missed.

“DiNardo appeared disturbed by the orders.” Aren’t we all? Everyone should be disturbed by the lack of accountability in the large organization in Rome. Oh well. The Lord sees all and takes notes.

Religious equivalent of the Deep State in total control.

Pope Francis better wake up and start to throw the queer priests completely out of the priesthood. That is first!

They believe they are untouchable. The DOJ has sent all the dioceses an order to retain their records on the priest sex scandal. What does the Pope think the DOJ is doing this for? Nothing?

That is absolutely not going to happen! That’s what this article is saying.

Pray for the Bishops. They can still take action by saying they don’t condone covering up misdeeds of clergy and go from there.

The US Bishops don't believe they are are untouchable... they know they can be touched.

If Mr. Whitaker needs proof that there is an organized crime component in this scandal, I think he has it now... the only problem is that most of the current US bishops actually aren't complicit in the covering up... and one bishop that is complicit happens to be a Head of State and Head of Church.

Bishop Coyne told CNA that the bishops would also suspend their vote on establishing a third-party reporting system for complaints about episcopal conduct.

The Congregation for Bishops asked for the delay so that bishops around the world can be “on the same page,” and learn from each other, the bishops said. The importance of further precision in canon law was also raised.

Joining Cardinal DiNardo and Bishop Coyne at the news conference was Bishop Timothy Doherty of Lafayette, Indiana.

Cardinal Dinardo said he found Rome’s decision to be “quizzical” and suspected the Congregation for Bishops thought the U.S. bishops might be moving too quickly.

“I’m wondering if they could turn the synodality back on us. My first reaction was: This didn’t seem so synodical; but maybe the Americans weren’t acting so synodically either. But it was quizzical to me when I saw it.”

The American members of the Congregation for Bishops are Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago and Donald Wuerl, archbishop emeritus of Washington.

Synodality and collegiality apparently are just empty buzzwords to cover up hyperultramontanist control of bishops from the Vatican.

Me thinks the Pope is a rainbow rump wrangler.

But, but, I thought Frankie wanted to make all the bishops equal in stature to each other, including himself.

Yeah right.

I’m trying to see how many years we can avoid giving the church a dime without them asking why the money stopped flowing. I cant wait to tell them.

“Where do we go from here — ...”
I’ve already gone there.
Couldm’t be happier.
Saints and martyrs honored, fast and abstenance observed, joyful feast days, beautiful music.
sspx.
Selfish of me I know, but I’m praying for the rest of y’all.

Well, so much of the scandals are recent enough in time that...why aren't District Attorneys investigating these criminals, trying them and sending them to prison?

Didn't they come up with a long list of men of the cloth in Pennsylvania that have behaved criminally? If the statute of limitation has run out on ALL of those crimes, that it was a pretty lame investigation.

It seems like District Attorneys don't need Francis' OK to do their jobs.
