We Freepers (darnit) can't remove them from office, therefore what purpose does our debating the accusation serve? I'm not trying to be contentious or derogatory of our discussing this on FR, I'm simply pondering the morality of this as it's an issue I'm struggling with.

I understand your concern, however, I completely and totally disagree with you. If we the laity don't worry about these things, it is quite clear that the hierarchy will not. If you have not lost faith in the men that make up Christ's Church you are hopelessly naive.

The laity can now rightfully hope that predatory chickenhawking priests will be removed from the priesthood thanks to websites like FR. If we left this stuff to the hierarchy they'd still be enjoying their chicken dinners, Lincoln Continentals, satellite TV, and transferring these monsters from parish to parish.

If there are active homosexuals in the hierarchy, they are intrinsically disordered and they should be gone. We cannot trust these men to police themselves. For many years, they enjoyed the privilege of the laity's trust and look what they did with it. Those days are over.
