RCF does go overboard and paints with as broad a brush as it can get away with.
OTOH, anything less than a "zero tolerance" policy for past, as well as present, abuses will be unacceptable to most Catholics. I am not going to up my tithe if my diocese happens to be in a financial bind because of lawsuits against pederast priests.
Sackcloth and ashes is not out of order for many US bishops. It will not be mandated, unfortunately, because the Vatican was aware of most of the abuse cases, and the cover-ups as well.
I agree.
Everything they write winds up primarily focusing on insulting others. That appears to have held true here as well.
I agree.
You believe this satire is all too true?
Unfortunately, though I could have written this far more diplomatically, and any credibility RCF may have had has been lost by their bitter vitriol, there is indeed far too much truth in the highlighted TRANSLATIONS to satisfy me that any meaningful reform will come of this.
"Serial"???
"Notorius"???
These two words spoken together by our hierarchy means that there will likely be no "One strike yer out" policy, and they are only giving lip service in their "orthodoxy" statements.
RCF has reason to be bitter. Their canon lawyer, friend, and co-founder, Fr. Kuntz, was ritualistically murdered by the lavender mafia. I'd be bitter too.
I thought it apt. And I don't think I am biased just because I became a member of RCF about a month ago after I read their website.
