A Laity In Steubenville
A growing list of interesting people. Pints with Aquinas and scripture scholars at home on the banks of the Ohio. Clericalism is ignored here. A reason for hope if not faith. Matt Fradd and Benjamin Wiker and Scott Hahn have found a good place to practice their trade. Others may notice and join them.
A Crisis in the Church
a refusal to even use the word homosexual. When a man abuses a younger male somehow it is not a homosexual act. It is an abuse of power. Not a homosexual act. So instead of trying to identify the homosexual man, we attack the authority of the man and the source of that authority, The Church. No problem.
A Crisis in the Church
a first step is to start using the word homosexual. Does anyone really know what clericalism is? We have homosexual priests and bishops. Lots of them. They are disordered. This is no place for homosexuals and it all starts with the seminaries. We can’t have homosexual bishops running them.
A Crisis in the Church
a clerical problem that can’t be talked about because there are too many homosexual priests and bishops. We have to learn to live with them. We have to make them comfortable. We have to at least be silent about it. No gossip. We have to pray that the problem will somehow go away.
A Crisis in the Church
a prayer? Talk of climate change? Talk of clericalism? No talk of homosexuality. Talk of mercy and forgiveness is good but some kind of change must be forced by the laity. Money is not the only thing respected by our bishops but it seems to be way ahead of whatever is in second place.
A Crisis in the Church
a moral crisis. They talkin bout clericalism. They talkin bout mercy, forgiveness, and prayer. They should be talkin bout exposing the corruption. They should be talkin bout a disorder called homosexuality. Bishops are ignoring the directives to not ordain homosexuals. They are also ignoring the teachings of the Church.
A Victims Fund
for silence. Silence allows the abuse to continue. Protects the good that they do. The cost of doing business. Clerics must be protected lest they lose respect. Without this respect, the good will suffer. Silence is golden. Here comes the apostasy. Come Lord Jesus.
A Fund Raiser
like Marcial Marcel. See a Scandal at the Vatican. Also like Bernardin and McCarrick. The great fund raisers of the Church. That was not all they had in common. They weren’t just clerics. Money makes the world go round. It also goes to Rome. Follow it.
A Problem
a deflection or a diversion. How can you blame a cleric who is just doing his job? The Kindle allows you to search words. You can find some form of cleric eight times in a “Letter to a Suffering Church”: Clerical (5) Clerics (2) Clericalism (1) There are other interesting words: Sodomy (4) Homosexual (1) Just another cover up. (0)
A Suffering Church
mentions clericalism. In short the priests can’t be any better than the laity. Really? We can’t find men who are holier than the laity? The letter also mentions homosexual. In short a disorder. Not a good place to start when looking for those who are holier. The last three popes have directed that they should not be ordained. The bishops continue to ignore these directives. They are also ignoring the teachings of the Church.
