“Can it be that you really don’t understand the difference between professions and practice revealing what one really believes?”

No, I understand that quite well. I understand it well enough to see that the sinful men who commit the actions we’re discussing are acting without the sanction of the Church and against her teachings.

Your refusal to admit what is before your eyes is not heroic, or even principled, but only obdurate.

And thus you seem to think absence of discipline and even honoring such liberal souls, and the promotion of those who accommodate them, plus the sanction of liberal scholarship, somehow constitutes absence of sanction. But which denies Scripture when it clearly says that what one believes is shown by what one does and fosters, and condemns such lack of effectual discipline. (1Cor. 5:11-13)

The pope himself gave his apostolic blessing to a manifestly impenitent Ted Kennedy before he died, without any evident word of correction,and gave him an ecclesiastical funeral, with a Protestant giving a eulogy no less, thus interpreting canon law as allowing this. And which type of thing is multiplied.

In addition, you have approved Bible commentary for decades which manifests liberal revisionism, and that prohomosexual apologists use, some of which is provided on the Vatican's own web site (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/_INDEX.HTM).

Your refusal to admit what is before your eyes is not heroic, or even principled, but only obdurate.

Resorting to ad hominem attacks and attributing motive (bigotry!) in lieu of an argument is a sign of desperation, but in light of the evidence this kind of response indicates it applies to the accuser.
