Are there any of the guilty clergy unable to see themselves in today's first reading?

Reading 1 Ez 34:1-11 The word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, in these words prophesy to them to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been pasturing themselves!

Should not shepherds, rather, pasture sheep? You have fed off their milk, worn their wool, and slaughtered the fatlings, but the sheep you have not pastured. You did not strengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured.

You did not bring back the strayed nor seek the lost, but you lorded it over them harshly and brutally. So they were scattered for the lack of a shepherd, and became food for all the wild beasts.

My sheep were scattered and wandered over all the mountains and high hills; my sheep were scattered over the whole earth, with no one to look after them or to search for them.

Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: As I live, says the Lord GOD, because my sheep have been given over to pillage, and because my sheep have become food for every wild beast, for lack of a shepherd; because my shepherds did not look after my sheep, but pastured themselves and did not pasture my sheep; because of this, shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:

Thus says the Lord GOD: I swear I am coming against these shepherds. I will claim my sheep from them and put a stop to their shepherding my sheep so that they may no longer pasture themselves. I will save my sheep, that they may no longer be food for their mouths.

For thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will look after and tend my sheep.

In 1976, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church declared that “homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church" (1976-A069). Since then, faithful Episcopalians have been working toward a greater understanding and radical inclusion of all of God’s children.

Along the way, The Episcopal Church has garnered a lot of attention, but with the help of organizations such as Integrity USA, the church has continued its work toward full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Episcopalians. In 2003, the first openly gay bishop was consecrated; in 2009, General Convention resolved that God’s call is open to all; in 2012, a provisional rite of blessing for same-gender relationships was authorized, and discrimination against transgender persons in the ordination process was officially prohibited; and in 2015, the canons of the church were changed to make the rite of marriage available to all people, regardless of gender.

To our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender brothers, sisters and siblings: “The Episcopal Church welcomes you!”

This is straight off the Episcopal Church web site. This is also the future of the catholic church. This where the homosexual/pedophile mafia is taking the church. It's a work in process and there is no stopping it. Anyone in a position of power that wants to stop this will be removed and a member of the homosexual/pedophile mafia will replace him. If you're an old fashioned catholic, you have lost your church and you're not getting it back. The perverts have won and they will remake the church in their own image.

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?

Speaking of which,

>>before he decided to flee for fear of the wolves?

What's that commercial about? Someone drives their Rover home and is greeted by a pack of white wolves/dogs who cower near the Rover car, which parks and retracts its external parts? Reminds me of the original Infiniti ads which show rocks and trees.
