We're not privileged to know how the
Church became infected with perverts:

This is the "diabolical disorientation"
predicted in the Third Secret; it's "normal"
to be "ALL ABOUT MEEEEeee!!" But then, when
one is "ALL ABOUT MEeee," one is not humble
enough to perform the research.

Rome Fiddles, We Burn
By MAUREEN DOWD
If the Vatican is trying to restore the impression that its moral
sense is intact, issuing a document that equates pedophilia with the
ordination of women doesn’t really do that.
The Catholic Church continued to heap insult upon injury when it
revealed its long-awaited new rules on clergy sex abuse, rules that
the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said signaled a
commitment to grasp the nettle with “rigor and transparency.”
The church still believes in its own intrinsic holiness despite all
evidence to the contrary. It thinks it’s making huge concessions on
the unstoppable abuse scandal when it’s taking baby steps.
The casuistic document did not issue a zero-tolerance policy to
defrock priests after they are found guilty of pedophilia; it did not
order bishops to report every instance of abuse to the police; it did
not set up sanctions on bishops who sweep abuse under the rectory rug;
it did not eliminate the statute of limitations for abused children;
it did not tell bishops to stop lobbying legislatures to prevent child-
abuse laws from being toughened.
There is no moral awakening here. The cruelty and indecency of child
abuse once more inspires tactical contrition. All the penitence of the
church is grudging and reactive. Church leaders are merely as penitent
as they need to be to protect the institution.
Can you imagine such a scene in the confessional?
“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I am as sorry as my job or
school requires me to be.”
“But my daughter, that is not true penitence. That’s situational
penitence.”
After the Belgian police bracingly conducted raids on the church
hierarchy, inspired in part by the horrifying case of a boy molested
for years by his uncle, the bishop of Bruges, a case that the church
ignored and covered up for 25 years, the pope did not applaud the more
aggressive tack. He condemned it.
In a remarkable Times story recently, Laurie Goodstein and David
Halbfinger debunked the spin that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had been
one of the more alert officials on the issue of sexual abuse:
“The future pope, it is now clear, was also part of a culture of
nonresponsibility, denial, legalistic foot-dragging and outright
obstruction. More than any top Vatican official other than John Paul,
it was Cardinal Ratzinger who might have taken decisive action in the
1990s to prevent the scandal from metastasizing in country after
country, growing to such proportions that it now threatens to consume
his own papacy.”
If Roman Polanski were a priest, he’d still be working here.
Stupefyingly, the new Vatican document also links raping children with
ordaining women as priests, deeming both “graviora delicta,” or grave
offenses. Clerics who attempt to ordain women can now be defrocked.
On Beliefnet, Mark Silk, a professor of religion at Connecticut’s
Trinity College, suggested that the stronger threat against women’s
ordination is not “a maladroit add-on” but the medieval Vatican’s
“main business.”
After the Vatican launched two inquisitions of American nuns, it
didn’t seem possible that the archconservative Il Papa and his
paternalistic redoubt could get more unenlightened, but they have
somehow managed it.
Letting women be priests — which should be seen as a way to help
cleanse the church and move it beyond its infantilized and defensive
state — is now on the list of awful sins right next to pedophilia,
heresy, apostasy and schism.
Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, the chairman of the Committee
on Doctrine of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops,
asserted, “The Catholic Church, through its long and constant
teaching, holds that ordination has been, from the beginning, reserved
to men, a fact which cannot be changed despite changing times.”
But if it was reserved to celibate men centuries ago simply as a way
for the church to keep land, why can’t it be changed? If a society
makes strides in not subordinating women, why can’t the church reflect
that? If men prove that all-male hierarchies can get shamefully
warped, why can’t they embrace the normality of equality? The
Vatican’s insistence on male prerogative is misogynistic poppycock —
enhancing American Catholics’ disenchantment with Rome.
In The New Republic, Garry Wills wrote about his struggle to come to
terms with the sins of his church: Jesus “is the one who said,
‘Whatever you did to any of my brothers, even the lowliest, you did to
me.’ That means that the priests abusing the vulnerable young were
doing that to Jesus, raping Jesus. Any clerical functionary who shows
more sympathy for the predator priests than for their victims
instantly disqualified himself as a follower of Jesus. The cardinals
said they must care for their own, going to jail if necessary to
protect a priest. We say the same thing, but the ‘our own’ we care for
are the victimized, the poor, the violated. They are Jesus.”

'Not even Brian Fallon, since I have not yet been able to instruct him
in how to do science, nor is he an activist. Must be because he has
no kids, and is a man. (Either condition is a mental defect.)
I sort of wondered about him --I don't know --but his voice.....
LOL, Don't say nothin bad about Brian.
He's a good person but he don't know how
ta fight. He don't know he's IRISH!!!
