McCarrick Watch: VVednesday Edition

Archbishop Emeritus Theodore McCarrick (Pic Credit: Screen Shot from PBS News Hour)

When Two Gay Catholic Tribes Go To (Cold) War

. . .the first tribe is the Progressives — some sexually active, others not — who believe homosexuality should be normalized by the Catholic Church, and are pushing openly for the Church to change its teachings to reflect that. . .

. . .the second tribe are Conservatives who live a double life.  Outwardly they advocate for traditional Catholic teaching on homosexuality, but they also live homosocially (in the sense of socializing with other gay conservative priests), and some have gay sex.  They, therefore, live in a state of cognitive dissonance. . .

Kevin Cardinal Farrell (Pic Credit: Life Site)

Rocked by Scandals, the Vatican Should Cancel the Pro-Homosexual World Meeting of Families

. . .claims of innocence are not going to be enough any longer, nor the protections of the old-boy networks.  Take the case of Kevin Cardinal Farrell, one-time auxiliary bishop of Washington D.C., who claims, implausibly, not to have known anything irregular about McCarrick, with whom he lived for six years. . .

. . .It seems highly unlikely, though it’s just barely possible.  And if so – a big if – Cardinal Farrell himself may now become a victim of McCarrick’s evil deeds.  Farrell will be one of the speakers at the World Meeting of Families in Dublin later this month.  Whether he’s to blame or not, his credibility as head of the new Dicastery for Laity, Family, & Life has been damaged.  And will not be restored unless there’s a thorough investigation of what he & others knew – & didn’t know.

We Have a Bad Parenting Problem in the Church

. . .I’ve always contended that the “poor catechism” problem reflects a more serious problem in our Church:  “The ‘bad parenting’ of Church leadership has left few who are inspired or, better yet, ‘hungry’ to learn about their faith.”  When faith was alive & fervent (let’s say, prior to 1965), Sunday school was only a primer to all the ways the faithful gobbled up everything they could to know God more.  Not so much, in most of the baptized today. . .

McCarrick Watch: Saturday Edition

Archbishop McCarrick (Pic Credit: Screen Shot from NCRegister.com)

McCarrick Resigned from the College of Cardinals, Wherein Fr. Z Rants

. . .lots of people are really angry, indeed enraged.  Horrid situations such as those caused by men like McCarrick are painful.  We can make choices about how to view them.  Anger is appropriate, but not to the point where we are merely giving voice to our spittle-flecked Ids.  Sad situations like this must be taken as an opportunity for grace.  When you see this filth in the Church, remember that Christ created His Church for sinners: you, me & McCarrick.  If anger is the first impulse that we have when we see this awful stuff, the second impulse must be to say, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner!”, & then go to confession & do some penance. . .
