As rare as a good homily.
Fr. John Lankeit, rector of the Phoenix cathedral, has been on fire over the faggot priest scandal. If today's homily is another winner, I will post it on FR.
Exactly right. Parishioners are REALLY getting angry with the gay molesters. They’re ready to march on more than a few rectories and give them some Western Justice.
People should not underestimate the feelings of the rank and file Catholic, who, because of their faith, are generally conservative. Sure, there’s plenty of liberals still, but they’re usually not regulars. Christmas and Easter Catholics, called “Chreasters”.
The fact that this scandal is back again, when the Church Fathers promised to take care of it and punish the evil-doers, is a burning hot ember right now.
As a non-Catholic, I firmly believe there are still real priests and faithful. However, I'm not so enthralled with the hoards of ultra-corrupt heirarcy. The Church has been under assault by the queer-mafia for many decades, world-wide.
So, to differentiate, I try to use the terms "priest" "pope" and "catholic" (small "c")....just for the sake of real Catholics.
