We know only the love of Christ will defeat the powers of evil. As both clergy and laity, we must again return our lives to ways which imitate Christ. As clergy we must again grasp that ancient missionary style of preaching… most often through our daily actions, and less often through mere words. If we are speaking words of the Gospel while abusing vulnerable children and adults, millions more of once faithful Roman Catholics shall continue to leave what they see as a modern wicked Roman Catholic Church.
Our bishops and their ongoing legal protection of current ordained homosexual infidels does not help either the people of God or Jesus Christ. This ongoing scandal brings tears to the victims, their loved ones; and to our dear Lord and Holy Redeemer. I have no doubt Christ weeps in the company of His Holy Mother. Blessed Mary also weeps and countless tears fall from the holy cheeks of Our Lady of Sorrows. As clergy we MUST change by choosing to imitate Christ rather than living in evil ways of worldliness.
We have choices… Sexual abuse of children, raping vulnerable adults, homosexual predation, active ongoing homosexual love affairs, adultery; added to established public episcopal cover-ups, telling public half-truths, even outright lies; and the destruction of evidence and the ongoing protection of credibly accused priestly sexual infidels and abusers… all these evil ways combined have produced a confused and deeply wounded and seemingly chaotic Roman Catholic Church. All these evil ways have produced the most powerful forces of evil to ever confront the faithful Catholics here in America.
This immoral snowball will continue to destroy our Church. It will only be stopped when the good priests and faithful lay Catholics are willing to forcibly and in the Public Square announce the clerical names, the places of crimes and possibly the names of clerical sex abuse victims whose lives were profoundly wounded and tragically even lost to the evil despair which always results from clerical sex abuse. As priests we MUST imitate Christ!
This in both fact and history is the one and only correct Truth! Sex abuse and clerical infidelity are not acceptable options! Never will be! For this behavior by priests is always evil, and destructive of our one, holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. History confirms this cold reality! Look around you. Millions of Catholics are gone! As clergy, let us rebuild Christ’s one true ancient Church.
