The Moden Jeremiah on the "Scandal"

Ann Barnhardt tends to go over the top, but when all the bishops release statements that are bland and clueless, it is refreshing that someone out there is angry.

but she points out the satanist link, and I fell she may be overstating it: or maybe not, since confusion/ twisting the truth/ attacking the innocent and of course acting out sexually without regret is openly the problem.

Now, listen up, because this is important. Not every sodomite infiltrator is a satanist. In fact, the vast, vast, vast majority are NOT. The number of actual satanist clergy worldwide is relatively minuscule, even on a percentage basis.

BUT, even if there are only a few hundred or thousand actual practicing satanists, and several DOZEN of them are Cardinals or bishops and are inside the Vatican (which they absolutely are), that is enough to control the Institutional Church – even to the point of coercing Pope Benedict XVI into attempting to invalidly abdicate, as we now know is what happened, and why Pope Benedict XVI is the one and only living Pope, and Bergoglio is an Antipope.

The vast majority of sodomite clerics and prelates have NO SUPERNATURAL FAITH, and thus don’t believe in the PRETERNATURAL (angels and demons) either. The vast majority of sodomite infiltrators entered the Church because it has been used for six decades now as the false-front legit facade of a RACKETEERING PARADIGM revolving around power, money, and especially SODOMY.

too harsh? Andrew Greeley said half the priests with same sex attraction keep their vows, but often they feel sympathy for those who "fall" so let them off the hook. And so not just those who "lapse" get a free pass, so do those who routinely and openly cruise the gay scene get ignored, and the predators on young men get away with the claim it was consensual sex between adults, and of course the real pedophiles also sneak in under the radar of a church that no longer respects sexual purity.

And of course, then it goes into diverting money to one's sex life (as I see here, with a lot of Lolo's hard earned money getting gifted to a certain person's gay lovers, while I support the family on my pension):

Just as the mafia use legit front businesses such as dry cleaners, restaurants, gas stations and construction companies to provide cover for drug dealing, sex trafficking, loan sharking and “protection rackets”, the Freemasons, Communists and ambitious psychopaths like Marcial Maciel realized that THE MOST EFFECTIVE racketeering false-front is THE CHURCH ITSELF. As the Pennsylvania Attorney General calls it, “the weaponization of faith”. BINGO.

she goes into details (as does the report) about the horrible ways that faith and the sacraments were twisted by these predators. X rated stuff. Really sick.

And it makes the bland response by the bishops even more horrible.

So why do I remain Catholic? the sacraments. And the knowledge that there are many good priests out there, who need your prayers.

there are too many prophecies out there about the anti church taking over, from Rev Wilkerson to Sr S. in Akita, to even Benedict XVI.

but some of us have to keep our faith and pray.

Get out the millstones

the guy who runs the "salt and light" network for the bishops explains the pope is beyond the bible and tradition. After a week, someone said WTF, so the passage was removed.

Pope Francis breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants because he is “free from disordered attachments.” Our Church has indeed entered a new phase: with the advent of this first Jesuit pope, it is openly ruled by an individual rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture


However, the internet is forever, so the article is posted HERE.

yes, even if one is an agnostic, from a practical standpoint, religious laws and legal traditions encode thousands of years of pragmatic experience.

and the Pope is not a dictator who can change God's law (he can change men's laws, i.e. minor stuff, but not God's laws).

and the scandals are just the tip of the iceburg on the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

Forget the "Pennsylvania" report (we lay folks already knew this stuff): the real bombshell is Richard Sipes letter can be found here.
those who were behind the report are still there, and unrepentant.

Best clueless comment? From the Altoona diocese spokesman:

Diocese Secretary for Communications, Tony DeGol, said the latest report is an opportunity for the voice of the victims to be heard...."Their stories need to be told. Many people have suffered greatly and people need to know about that suffering and most importantly the church and everyone else in society needs to learn from their suffering."

Everyone else needs to learn? WTF? So I am supposed to feel guilty that when the lay folks tried to get the bishop to pay attention to the abuse going on, we were ignored?

Steps taken since 2016 include a Diocesan Office of Children and Youth Protection, an independent oversight board, educational training programs and ongoing victim/survivor assistance.\
yup. Another oversight bureaucracy will do the trick.

No talk of sin or evil here, folks, just move along.

update Pennsylvania report here. 

before this hit, Kathleen Kane publicized the atrocities in the Altoona/Johnstown/State College area LINK report here.

Timeline HERE.

we knew what was going on in the Altoona diocese back in the 1990's: not just the coverup of abuse, but the bishop pushing "renovation" of churches (i.e. making them ugly), getting rid of charismatic prayer groups, trying to shut down the traditional novenas etc.

During our time there, I transferred my son out of public school because of racial harassment, to a local Christian school.

One time a visiting priest gave a sermon on the Catholic teachings on sexuality and marriage, and he was astonished: Mom do catholics believe that? He talks just like Brother Fetterman...

Yes, one sermon in the ten years we lived there.

The problem is not just homosexuality, which is usually presented in the press as if the gay lifestyle was sedate and demure, but the collapse of the strict sexual ethic, which after all was pushed by Jesus.

Here is an example of how these things link:

xxxx pointed to other things that are against the Catholic church’s teachings, such as having sexual relations before marriage or getting divorced instead of having the marriage annulled, which seem more accepted these days.
“Nobody seems to say anything about those, but they do seem to say things about the LGBTQ community. That’s a form of discrimination that needs to be addressed,”

Discrimination? uh, maybe someone in the church should start addressing all of these things: the answer is not "accaptance" but repentance.

but don't tell the Pope.

But never mind. just put up the facade and pretend you are fixing the problem.

and it says a lot that the DA who helped break the case was eventually convicted after leaking information to the press about another case, but the bishops remain free.
