VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican ambassador who accused Pope Francis of rehabilitating a disgraced ex-American cardinal is doubling down on his claims, asserting that the "scourge of homosexuality" in the priesthood is responsible for sex abuse and that the Vatican is being hypocritical in refusing to acknowledge it. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano issued a third instalment Friday in the war of words over the cover-up of ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.

Looks to me like this is probably true and Francis is doing his best to discredit and smear Vignano, all of which makes it likely that the Purple Mafia goes all the way to the top of the Church and is joyously continuing with its buggery. That probably being true, the U. S. Attorney's current investigation of the PA Church is likely to net a lot of big fish going far beyond PA.

The Catholic Church, ELCA, Episcopalians and Methodists, among others, are knee deep in sodomites. They have taken “inclusiveness” to an absurd level.

Disgusting.

I admit I’m shocked at the level of open rebellion in the hierarchy. Not that it’s unwarranted.

ViganO has a bonfire of a letter this time. Escaping his conclusions is impossible.

Pope dude be guilty of at least the coverup, and probably the active promotion of homosexual predators.

It is sad that an organization of
It’s magnatude has been thoroughly
Infiltrated by a disease that is
Antithetical to it’s very Founding.
“Let the Children come into Me.”
Christ’s words,
and these animals dress in Robes
wit pious words unleash a horrendously violent attack on Innocents.
Anyone associated with this should be Outraged,but the are not.

FTA: While the McCarrick scandal has exposed how seminarians can be vulnerable to sexual abuses by their gay superiors, studies have shown that homosexuals in general are no more likely to abuse than heterosexuals.

This is garbage and CBS News knows it. There have been reputable studies done that show that adult homosexual men engage in sexual relations with youth at a rate more than 10 times that of adult heterosexual men.

I’d be willing to bet 80% of all priests are gay. 1 % are blissfully ignorant of them. 19% remaining turn a blind eye and are complicit.

Fortunately, many sodomite “churches” announce themselves by putting a “rainbow” flag or banner on their “churches.”

Some Baptists and I are praying for Archbishop Vigano, that he be strengthened and protected.

The pope is a homosexualist, if not an active homo himself.

I hope so too. I’ve been praying for him— praying that I don’t wake up one morning to read about his “suicide.”

He dances with the ones who brung him. The homosexualist cabal engineered his election, and he’s hellbent (literally) on doing their bidding.

Fkg bullsh*t!

I know personally more than a few traditional Catholic priests who are:

1.) NOT sodomites
2.) NOT “blissfully ignorant”
and
3.) Definitely NOT “turning a blind eye.

So stick your not-so veiled bigotry where the sun don’t shine.
