The news of bankruptcy also comes in the wake of the promotion of Robert McElroy, well-known for his cover-up of predator priests to the College of Cardinals.

McElroy covered up for arguably the most infamous predator of all: now-laicized Theodore McCarrick. McElroy, who as early as July 2016 had been told of McCarrick's sexual predation by renowned clerical sex abuse expert Richard Sipe, has remained silent.

And in 2014, when an abuse victim reported to San Diego diocesan officials that North American College alumnus Fr. Jacob Bertrand ritually raped her at her home when she was 24 years old, McElroy sided with the predator priest.

In 2005, the Church clarified that men with “deeply rooted homosexual tendencies” cannot be ordained. The Vatican followed up in 2008 with a directive to implement psychological screening for candidates for the priesthood. Conditions listed for exclusion from the priesthood include “uncertain sexual identity” and “deep-seated homosexual tendencies”.

It appears that the “universal Church” doesn’t believe in “universal Debt”

I told FR over 10 years ago that this was the “arrangement” that Obummer made with the Pope.
“Back our gay agenda or we will sue you into oblivion”
Look for hundreds of Catholic Churches to fold in the next 5 years.
