Wonder if he wore his fancy robes to the gay bar. I hear they're quite attractive. Hypocrites, Thy name is Catholic.

And PS ... Yes I noticed when your furnishings went from silk, gold, and diamonds to earth tones (think Franciscan) and pottery when the money dried up.

#2 This is the result of Vatican II. The damage that it was done to the church is terrible. It will take a good cleanup to repair.

Why was he allowed to resign?? He should have been dragged out by the collar immediately, with no concern for dignity or civility.
And is this rich, or what:
"...He was responsible for helping to coordinate the U.S. bishops' response to the Church's 2018 sexual abuse and coercion scandals..."

Just become an Episcopalian, Monsignor. Episcopalians don't care whether you're gay or not. Just don't diddle with kiddies or take advantage of anyone. There's not a lot to do in Wisconsin. Stare at cows? Eat cheese? Beautiful state. Maybe Monsignor just needed a little dance bar relief.

And no one among his colleagues had any idea he was a pervert? Riiiight!
Please explain why this perv gets to resign instead of being publicly defrocked, excommunicated, tarred, and feathered.

This is nothing new. The Catholic Seminaries have become rife with homosexual activity. A lot of young men worry about their sexuality and think a life of celibacy will take care of the ambivalence. They go to seminary and get fully recruited into homosexuality. If they weren’t fully gay when they went in, they will be by the time they graduate.

I am not religious and neither favor nor disfavor Catholicism but considering their recent history, can't they simply be satisfied that the guy is at least having sex with ADULTS and leave it at that?

Broad brush you stroke with, #1. It would be closer to the truth to say: Hypocrites, thy name is Man. Cuz it all started a long time before Catholicism.

#11, The Catholic Church mandates celibacy from its clergy, in theory at least. In practice it has become as big a joke as expecting fidelity from Bill Clinton.
This high hypocrisy has undercut the Church's teaching on morality, at a time when society most needs that moral compass.

FTA, from Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, "What was shared with us did not include allegations of misconduct with minors." Does he say this because of the many scandals with gay priests molesting boys, or because gay men in general have a special fondness for boys? The latter is on deck to become normalized in american society; give it a few years and it will be no big deal, just a lifestyle choice, if not something they were "born with."

For years gays have found sanctuary in the Catholic Church just like they did with the boy scouts. Who knows how many people this freakin hypocrite has preyed on.

Anyone who has romantic urges that he can't (or won't) keep strictly to himself should not present himself for ordination to Catholic priesthood. No hook-up bars, no dating apps, etc. -- period. Getting ordained won't make a man celibate, any more than getting married will make him faithful to his wife.

Hmm. Typing on a phone without my glasses gets "reaction" instead of "fraction".

When I was growing up in 58 as a 13 yo, I heard my older brother's friend say he was going to have sex w as many girls as possible, because a month later he was going to be a priest.
Even then I knew that it was wrong and said so.
Even Paul in the New Testament tells men that if they can be celibate, to marry, don't sin.
I'm not Catholic. but I think priests should be able to marry.

As a Catholic, should I be thankful he’s getting his rocks off in gay bars instead of with altar boys? Yes, the liberal Lavender (Gay) Mafia does exist in our church and it ain’t going away anytime soon.

And many wonder why the RCC is not willing to hold Joe Xiden accountable, who goes to Holy Communion while supporting every mortal sin: the bishops themselves are perverted and debauched.

It's really sad. Catholics believe the catholic was set up by Jesus Christ.
But if you study the history of the Church it has gone through and done some horrendous things.
It makes a person think that if there is a God, a Christ and a Holy Spirit why does He allow this to happen to the Church he formed.?
IMO that is why so many are leaving.

#25, your answer is called the "permissive will of God" in Christian Theology. Sin and evil are in this world, not because of God, but because of the father of lies, Satan, the fallen angel. God does not interfere with the free will decisions of man, and we see the results of that every day all around us. God's desire for mankind is to express personal faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to learn His Word from a qualified Pastor-Teacher, and to grow in grace, advancing in the spiritual life.

When the guys up top are off the beam, it is easy to see why pederast priests think they have found a hiding place where they would be protected at the parish level. Sad!
