Pope Francis Greeting Archbishop Emeritus McCarrick (Pic Credit: Rorate Caeli)

The Homosexual Subculture of Bishops & Priests is as Large as Ever

. . .one would have to be a hermit not to know about quondam Cardinal McCarrick’s precipitous fall from grace.  The New York Times, probably with great relish, ran three stories on McCarrick’s other career as “Uncle Ted”, sexual predator of young men.  The story was taken up by the whole mediasphere for at least a week & still continues at this writing.  The Church, thanks be to God, acted swiftly, stripping him of his public ministry, removing his membership in the College of Cardinals, & planning a trial in the Vatican in the future.  The secular press often wonders how such a man could have been promoted to the very highest levels in the Church.  But that sense of wonder masks an assumption that moral corruption in the Catholic Church is far & wide among its clerics. . .

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. . .
