I am just struck by the fact that a poster keeps trying to say that a Cardinal is the same level as a Bishop.
Instead of denouncing what Sodano did in his powerful position a poster keeps saying he is just a Bishop.
“I am just struck by the fact that a poster keeps trying to say that a Cardinal is the same level as a Bishop.”
Are you referring to me? You are not posting correct information for one thing. Secondly, you are supposed to send a post where you refer to a poster to that poster and not just someone else.
“Instead of denouncing what Sodano did in his powerful position a poster keeps saying he is just a Bishop.”
That’s untrue. Again, if you’re referring to me, I am not saying he is “just” a bishop. He IS A BISHOP. I addressed the issue of bishops in post #73. And where are you denouncing Sodano? Are you denouncing him in every post about him? Do I have to render judgment now on everyone whose name you throw out here before I discuss the import of your actual post?
I will say it. Cardinals, bishops and priests committed crimes and they should have been severely punished. But remember, their crimes went against Catholic teaching and discipline. There is corruption in every organization, even in your church. The proper response is to return to what the Church actually teaches. In the area sexual abuse this is what the Catholic Church has done. These abuse are no longer tolerated. Why will you not acknowledge it?
