The very Bible that the Catholic church claims it wrote has instructions on what to do with the immoral brother, and yet, immoral priests get a pass, if their *intent* is right.
After all, once a priest, always a priest. Right?
Astounding hypocrisy indeed.
I sincerely hope the Catholic Church really means it this time to finally deal once and for all with abusive and immoral priests and bishops. They should be seeing the fruit of what happens by disobeying God's clear prescription for immorality among the leadership - BILLIONS of $$ in payment to victims, HUGE loss of credibility, ALL clerics under suspicion and parents thinking twice before entrusting the care of their children to them. Such losses are devastating but it seems are well-deserved. They are reaping the whirlwind of what they sowed by neglecting to observe the commands of God. It is a lesson ALL churches should take to heart. Do not be deceived, God is NOT mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.
