When little boys are being raped it is everyone's business pal. It's a disgrace to the name of Jesus, and I am offended by that, so it is my business.

I note, dear, that in your presumed heresy, you are capable only of continued cheap shots. If you can't distinguish between, on the one hand, SINS such as pederasty, pedophilia, homosexuality, and violation of vows which have been engaged in and practiced by the likes of the former Archbishop of Milwaukee and his, ummm, Amchurch clerical pals, and, on the other hand, the actual Roman Catholic Church, that is your problem not ours and it explains why you wallow where you do (wherever that may be but certainly not in Roman Catholicism).

You do not understand the Roman Catholic Church. You do not know the Roman Catholic Church. You regularly display your ignorance of such matters and yet you presume that your opinion counts. You may be as bigoted as you please against the Roman Catholic Church. You may remain outside of it (which, unless you adjust your attitude sharply and improve your knowledge substantially, is a very good idea, since in the United States, Catholicism has already far outstripped a tolerable quota of people ignorant of our Faith but chock full of irrelevant opinions which they would substitute for the teachings and administration of our popes while claiming to be Catholic).

We aren't drafting anyone, dear. If you believe what you seem to believe, rejoice in your beliefs but the governance of the Roman Catholic Church is manifestly and absolutely none of your business. Never has been, never (in the absence of your unlikely conversion) will be. Why do you think that any of us would ever agree with you or anyone like you?

Do not presume to speak for Jesus Christ. Jesus can, has, and will act on His own behalf and He will not be needing your help or advice in regard to the governance of His Church in the foreseeable future any more than he has over these past 1,970 years.

As far as little boys being raped (or adolescent under-age boys, for that matter), the government ought to do its job of charging, arresting, indicting, trying, convicting, sentencing and punishing miscreant clergy of my Church or yours. Of course, that is the same government that believes that slicing and dicing or burning the skin off innocent unborn infants is a virtual "constitutional sacrament", but never mind. Why tax your intellect?

As a matter of fact, you simply cannot imagine (literally) just how eager actual Roman Catholics are to see the government jail perverts and their enablers in our clergy. It is a great shortcut compared to clerical due process.

Bernard Cardinal Law, enabler of pederasts extraordinaire, rooming with Big Bubba at Walpole would not be very available for administrative duties in Boston's chancery. I will refrain from posting the litany of those AmChurch liberal "Catholic" clerics who ought to share his fate. That is your business as a taxpayer, regardless of creed or lack thereof, because you will participate in paying the bills.

Your cheap opportunistic shots and unsolicited opinions as to the governance of the Roman Catholic Church (Who governs it? What policies will be followed administratively? What constitutes doctrine or dogma and what does not? What prudential decisions are appropriate and which are not? Who will be consecrated as bishops or ordained as priests? Who, within Roman Catholicism, will obey whom? Will there be a married clergy in the Roman rite? Why won't women ever be ordained?) These and an infinity of other questions having to do with the internal governance of the Roman Catholic Church are absolutely none of your business or the business of anyone else not Catholic, dear.

And, if you don't like being called "dear", then don't call me "pal". I am no more your "pal" than you are my "dear".

You probably have gotten too accustomed to the timid little confused Kumbaya "Catholics" who go around apologizing for breathing. There are more than you suspect who don't and won't apologize to you for stepping on your errors and upon your egregious effrontery. Rest well in the knowledge that the Roman Catholic Church will be there at the end and that the United States government or its subsidiaries or the governments of other nations enjoy no such guarantees.
