They ask “who am I to judge”. Right is it not for them to judge. God has already judged. To contradict Him is to make your own judgment. To submit to His pronouncement is nonjudgment.

Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: "Religious orders operate churches in the archdiocese with the permission of the archbishop. A telephone call from the cardinal could have put a halt to this scandal in five minutes."

Nothing happens without the explicit - or complicit - approval of the local bishop.

“Who am I to judge?”

How very open minded of them. When it comes to homosexualism or even pedophile priests...

“Who am I to judge?”

The leaders who affirm homosexual behavior and the leaders who fail to sanction them are probably themselves homosexuals. What else are we to think?

“Betrayals of Catholic principles never permitted under Cardinal Law”

Is the author serious? Law was buddy-buddy with every one of the worst architects of the culture of death! Ted Kennedy, anyone?

The Franciscans already judged by participating in the pride festival.

They should’ve stayed away — no need for them to be there.

They set a bad example.

One and the same. There was almost NO pedophilia among priests, only fags doing what fags do: chasing boys.

It does no good to call a burglar a bank robber.

It is impossible to perform the third spiritual work of mercy, which is to admonish the sinner, without exercising objective judgement.

“The basic reason that we admonish sinners is because their salvation may well be in jeopardy.”

I think we have a large percentage of homosexuals in the Conciliar hierarchy.

I saw the picture of their booth and was very troubled. In my opinion, the Cardinal needs to have a fraternal discussion with those Franciscan’s Superior.

It is one thing to have a booth encouraging reconciliation and promoting the message of God’s love for us all, but it is totally different to imply homosexual acts are of no concern.

People are rightly outraged.

I went to a Jesuit University and without having statistics (or first-hand knowledge, God forbid!) , would guess that 20% of the priests were homosexual.

Indeed. And to attend their sinner-'pride' parade and say only "Who am I to judge?" is to put one's own salvation in jeopardy.

Don't hold your breath. The Cardinal has a history of protecting and promoting such priests.

.....”to attend their sinner-’pride’ parade and say only “Who am I to judge?” is to put one’s own salvation in jeopardy”....

One could easily say they aren’t the Lords to begin with, rather masquerading as so. I would tend to lean they are not Christians at all.
