After reading this exchange I can finally understand why some former Catholics choose schism to the SSPX rather than staying and having to deal with heretics like this Cardinal. I dont' agree with their decision, I think their souls are in danger; but I completely understand, because the emotions stoked up in me arouse a deep infatuation with that path.

Yes, one can be infatuated with a departure. Yes, one could contemplate having a cool head. This is a time for warriors. Warriors are not constrained by the niceties of social conventions.

I think there are many who understand this now though that isn't the answer( I wish it was so simple.) We are all disgusted and we all recognize how these powerful guys implicated themselves by not following and not leading in church teachings and the Magisterium...and how they assumed the laity were just trusting souls and weren't smart enough to recognize the lowdown.

Our anger is righteous. We have to remember that this isn't the first time in history that corruption has dominoed upwards into the hierarchy and we will come back from this ordeal a stronger and holier Church. Hold onto the Crucifix in your heart.
