Catholic Priests Speak Out: Faithful Priests ‘Blackmailed,’ ‘Bullied’
Breitbart ^ | 22 Aug 2018 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 08/23/2018 1:21:12 PM PDT by detective

More Catholic priests and leaders are confirming the existence of an activist homosexual culture in seminaries and among the Church’s hierarchy – one, they say, that is at the root of the lies and cover-up of the sexual abuse scandal, recently addressed by a Pennsylvania grand jury.

The priests are speaking out following the release of a grand jury report that details hundreds of examples of alleged sex abuse – mostly of male victims – and the ensuing cover-ups by Catholic bishops.

The report itself is released in the wake of the removal from ministry of former archbishop of Washington, DC, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, following allegations that he sexually abused boys and engaged in sexual misconduct with seminarians.

“I believe that there needs to be an open recognition that we have a very grave problem of a homosexual culture in the Church,” Cardinal Raymond Burke, the former head of the Church’s version of the Supreme Court, said in an interview Thursday, “especially among the clergy and the hierarchy, that needs to be addressed honestly and efficaciously.”

What’s all the hub-bub about? This has been a fact since the end of Vatican II. I personally know of several priests who left the seminary because of homosexuality. They were ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre.

What remains is to determine just how thoroughly the various institutions, starting with the RCC, have been co-opted by hiding their hidden predatory gay business.

And how far this predatory gay business has gone.

Is “Missionary” assisted Trafficking also on the menu?

Just how well is the beast in their midst being quietly fed?

The beast knows what it has been fed.

Could it use that knowledge that to “improve” its menu... its control?

Has it?

It’s gonna keep happening until the faithful priests and laity stand up and say no more.

And get excommunicated for their troubles.

But the blackmailing and bullying of the innocent would not be happening if the hierarchy had not been either complicit in the abuses or asleep at the switch.

Certainly educational.

However, I think the homo in question is quite wrong-headed for whining about “scapegoating” homos. He doesn’t seem to understand that sodomy is evil.

The problem *is* homosexuality. Boot the homos, and this problem will be solved.

Interesting, especially in light of the recent focus on the thousands of children sexually violated by clergy. Most were boys, something around 90% were boys, and all of the perpetrators of the boys were homosexual clergy - priests.

The elephant in the room is that the homosexual community has infested the RC clergy. It is a huge number. But our modern society is protecting the gay lifestyle. If you say a word about them, you are publicly labelled homophobic. And when that happens public figures such as politicians, government people at any level, owners of a successful businesses, etc. have their careers ruined.

Watch carefully, you will see there will be a full court press to make the homosexual pedophiles, the victims. Honesty about homosexuals is forbidden.
