A Rat in the Vatican
Some things he has said in the past three years:
as reported by The Tidings, The Los Angeles Times, TIME, and various publications.
- Divorced people will never be allowed to receive sacraments or remarry in the church, and are in the same moral category as Mafia and child molesters.
Does this actually mean that divorced people are CRIMINALS? ok.....
So, make a mistake and you can never be forgiven. Never. Isn't that Christ's way?
By the way,pay no attention to those Confessionals over there- they aren't for YOU.
- Homosexuality is not only an abomination, but homosexuals are evil in the eyes of God.
God makes mistakes? God hates His creations? God actually created a whole group of people to be condemned? Wow, that's a God I love and trust, how about you?
- The rituals of the Liturgy have become too focused on the "community" since VaticanII, and must be reformed- in fact, we must reform the reformation.
We need to get rid of Guitar Masses, children's' Masses, and liturgical dancing--- it goes against Christ's obvious desire for us to be silent , sorrowful, and separated by an altar .
- Because this "community" spirit has been allowed to corrupt the Liturgy of the Mass, the focus has turned from the Priests' role as the representative of Christ, and instead brings too much of individual's experience to the Mass.
This would imply that that the Mass should be all about the Priest, not the congregation... or that the Priests shouldn't have to share the pulpit with anyone. Talk about divas.
- Women will never be priests because Christ said that only MEN can represent Him to His people.
Yeah, Mary is so NOT a representative of Christ.
- Gay Priests do not exist, since sexuality is not part of the Vows of Priesthood.
Where do I begin with this one?
- Priests can never be married (see above).
And yet married Catholics are required to receive pre-marital counseling with their Parish priest in 1-6 sessions prior to being married in the Church . I sure am glad I can get some good old fashioned relationship advice from a man who is not allowed to date, marry, or have sex. Wonder what he can teach me about being a parent!
- While it is regrettable that some children may have been harmed by Religious, there is no proof that this could have been prevented, since these actions were unknown to superiors at the time the alleged actions took place.
Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request for justice at this time....
-This would also preclude any current admission of guilt or apologies to the victims.
....as we are currently in complete denial.
This man is supposed to bring us into a New Century.....
maybe the 17th?
to be continued.
you'd better believe it.
