Sin fin ... (Michael Voris)
TRANSCRIPT
You probably never heard of Fr. Gregory Greiten, pastor of St. Bernadette parish in the archdiocese of Milwaukee that is, perhaps, until this past week, when the 52-year-old priest published an article in the dissident rag known as the National Catholic Reporter. Greiten goes through the usual presentation of so many men who struggled through the confusion and anxieties of realizing that for some psychological reason, they had to face the reality that they were sexually attracted to other men.
This reality of males who self-identify as "gay" has plagued the priesthood in the United States for going on 50 years now. As an aside, the flamboyant homosexualist Fr. James Martin nearly had to be hospitalized for apoplexy — so fast was he retweeting fellow priest Greiten's story of coming out. Of course, he was. Funny though, Fr. Martin himself still refuses to come out or acknowledge if he could come out, blaming his superiors for his not being able to freely discuss his own sexuality but back to Greiten or rather the larger implications.
He was ordained for Milwaukee back in 1992 when homosexual Abp. Rembert Weakland was shuffling around gay priests who had raped altar boys and was himself having an affair with a college student to whom he paid nearly $500,000 in blackmail money from the archdiocesan coffers. Back then, all the gay stuff — overwhelmingly prevalent as it was — had to be kept very hush-hush, even among the bishops. We spoke with at least one bishop privately who told us every bishop back then knew Weakland was homosexual, as well as acting on it.
No way could an archbishop be carrying on an active gay affair and word not get out among the clergy, which it did, of course. Suffice to say, no one in the hierarchy, many of them homosexual or homosexualist themselves, was the least bit surprised at the outing of Weakland. That he had raided archdiocesan funds to the tune of $450,000 to cover it up — that caught some a little off guard but just some and just a little.
Too bad for Weakland that he hadn't been carrying on these days where gay activity and the embracing of all things sodomy is now warmly embraced by so many bishops and priests. Heck, being sexually aroused by other men is even openly spoken of as being a gift from God — that He made you that way and the rest of the Church is just going to have to get over themselves.
God's love embraces everything and everyone, even sin. How positively medieval for those few remaining hold-out Catholics to believe in chastity. Absurd! My gosh, it's the 21st century! C'mon, get with it. If you don't think that's the attitude sweeping through the ranks of America's bishops these days, think again.
Here was the official response from Greiten's archbishop, Jerome Listecki, who occupies the same office that Weakland once did: "We support Fr. Greiten in his own personal journey and telling his story of coming to understand and live with his sexual orientation. ... As the Church teaches, those with same-sex attraction must be treated with understanding and compassion." Yes, too bad for Weakland, he only missed by about 20 years or so.
The wholesale sellout to the gay agenda among so many Catholic clergy, including bishops, can only mean one thing — the same thing that Greiten pointed to in his coming-out article — that anywhere from a quarter to over half of all Catholic priests in the United States, including bishops, are gay. Boy, they hate all this being talked about, but that's the reality, and it's too bad for them. They have allowed this rot to completely overcome the Church — something Church Militant has been pointing to and being hammered for saying for years now.
Bishops, the few straight ones of you who are left, listen very carefully: Men who are sexually attracted to other men are not capable of being fathers. They see the entire world through their pain, as understandable as that pain may be. But that does not excuse the reality that they should not be priests. And committed Catholics really need to hit pause and realize the tidal wave of sodomy and/or all the associated ills that accompany it that have swamped the Church. It is being led —led — by males whose primary interest is not the salvation of souls but the working out of their own psychological disturbances dressed up as being somehow spiritual.
These bishops and pastors are spiritualizing their own pain of being raped or molested as boys, emotionally abandoned by negligent fathers, rejected by their male peers in childhood, and they will stop at nothing until you affirm them in their pain and tell them that they are worth something, that they are not worthless and that they can have sex with other men as a means to escape that pain. That is the whole game going on.
The reality of this situation which bishops understand very well is why Listecki could respond the way he did. It's why Detroit Abp. Allen Vigneron, who is very familiar with the homosexual mafia in Detroit, has never lifted a finger to put a stop to the world's longest-running gay Mass, right in the heart of his own diocese. It's why Cdl. Timothy Dolan continues to turn a blind eye and even lie about the homosexual clique that runs his archdiocese.
It's why no bishop ever says anything about Lexington, Kentucky, Bp. John Stowe warmly embracing the whole gay agenda. It's why Cdl. Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, and Chicago Cdl. Blase Cupich can be so in your face about supporting all things gay. For James Martin to tweet that Fr. Greiten is a pioneer is laughable. You know darn good and well that every priest and official at the chancery already knew about Greiten being gay.
Heck, he even met with Abp. Listecki beforehand. Why didn't the archbishop forbid him under obedience from coming out? The idea that these males are somehow heroic is beyond absurd. How can it be courageous to come out to a group of peers and superiors about being gay when most of them are gay?
The smart money is on seeing a lot more of this come out because sadly there's a lot more of them to come out. They've worked 50 years to normalize this in the Church. They've succeeded. And for all you folks out there who accuse Church Militant of being negative and exaggerating the situation, told you so.
Now, are you still going to waste energy killing the messenger or are you going to join in the fight?

Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Brandmüller: Do What You Promised to Do! (Christopher A. Ferrara)
Durante los últimos 456 días, el cardenal Burke, el vocero percibido de la iniciativa dubia , ha afirmado en repetidas ocasiones que, fallando cualquier respuesta del Papa Francisco, los cardenales dubia no tendrán más remedio que asumir que sus respuestas a la dubia serían contrarias a la La enseñanza constante de la Iglesia y que sería necesario publicar una corrección formal de los errores de AL. En septiembre , el cardenal Burke explicó la naturaleza de la corrección prometida así: "Dado que una corrección formal trataría una enseñanza fundamental o enseñanzas fundamentales de la fe católica, requeriría que el Papa cumpla su solemne deber de enseñar lo que la Iglesia Católica siempre ha tenido". enseñado y practicado"
Pero ahora la dubia ha sido reemplazada por la maniobra de Francis en junio, saliendo a la luz solo este mes: publicando en la AAS su carta a los obispos de Buenos Aires aprobando precisamente esa interpretación de AL que, en la categoría amorfa de " ciertos casos que involucran "circunstancias complejas", admiten a los adúlteros públicos en los "segundos matrimonios" a la Sagrada Comunión sin dejar de lado sus relaciones adúlteras. El Papa ha declarado además que su aprobación de este ultraje es "auténtico Magisterio". La intención obvia era evitar la corrección formal cuya apariencia parecía inminente.
Así, el Papa Francisco ahora duplica los errores de AL respecto a la indisolubilidad del matrimonio, el carácter sin excepciones del precepto negativo de la ley natural que prohíbe el adulterio, la imposibilidad de absolución sin arrepentimiento verdadero y un firme propósito de enmienda, y la infinita santidad del Santísimo Sacramento. De los cardenales Burke y Brandmüller, sin embargo, desde entonces solo hemos tenido silencio. Un silencio que, con cada día que pasa, amenaza con exponer su iniciativa como nada más que un farol vacío que el Papa ha llamado.
Y aquí está el problema del que los dos cardenales dubia restantes no pueden escapar: han prometido, por el bien de la Iglesia y el bienestar de las almas, corregir públicamente los mismos errores que un Romano Pontífice ahora intenta hacer pasar como "auténtico Magisterio" "A pesar de que contradicen rotundamente las enseñanzas de cada uno de sus predecesores, incluidos Juan Pablo II y Benedicto XVI".
En este punto, por lo tanto, el continuo silencio de los cardenales se interpretará inevitablemente como el consentimiento a la proposición, con todas sus implicaciones morales y doctrinales, de que la tolerancia del adulterio público en la vida sacramental de la Iglesia en "ciertos casos" ahora es ser considerado "auténtico Magisterio". Esto significa que el silencio de los cardenales tendrá un resultado peor que si nunca hubieran hablado. Porque si los mismos Príncipes de la Iglesia que plantearon correctamente su objeción a los aparentes errores de AL ahora callan cuando el Papa Francisco intenta pasar esos errores como auténticas enseñanzas de la Iglesia, su propio silencio se convierte en un arma para ser ejercida contra aquellos miembros de los fieles , tanto clérigos como laicos, que todavía están dispuestos a defender la verdadera enseñanza de la Iglesia en el discurso público.
Por supuesto, cada cardenal está obligado a resistir al sucesor de Pedro "en su cara" (Gálatas 2:11) al oponerse a los errores de AL, tal como lo hizo San Pablo cuando el error de San Pedro amenazó la mismísima misión de la Iglesia con el Gentiles. Pero los Cardenales Burke y Brandmüller han afirmado y asumido ese deber de una manera particular y muy pública. Su silencio continuo es, por lo tanto, en realidad peor que el mero consentimiento. En caso de que continúe, será una aprobación positiva de los mismos errores que primero se propusieron corregir.
La historia de la Iglesia y, de hecho, el mundo bien pueden volverse sobre lo que hacen ahora los Cardenales Burke y Brandmüller. Sin duda, ellos saben esto. Y seguramente, como Príncipes de la Iglesia, conocen las consecuencias del juramento que tomaron cuando fueron elevados a sus altos cargos en la Iglesia.
Que Nuestra Señora de Fátima interceda para obtener para ellos la gracia de la fortaleza de hacer lo que se debe hacer por el bienestar de las almas y la integridad de la Santa Madre Iglesia.

As Usual, the Church Was Right (Michael Voris)
Duración 5:58 minutos
TRANSCRIPT
When a person correctly understands the essential nature of who the Church is — as opposed to constantly misunderstanding her essential nature, even by many bishops and clerics — then the phrase "the Church was right again" should never come as a surprise. First, briefly: The Catholic Church is the Bride of Christ, She for Whom He sacrificed His life.
The sacrament of marriage is a reflection of the relation between Christ and His Bride, so when the author of that sacrament says a man clings to his wife and the two become one flesh, Our Blessed Lord has laid out the nature of what the Church is — She is Him, here on earth, one flesh, inseparable, one in the same. Now that we have that spelled out, then, of course, the Church is right again, as She is always right because when She speaks, She speaks for her Divine Spouse Himself. This is why She is preserved from error because error cannot exist within Our Lord.
So when we look at the problems in the world and the Church speaking out against those wrongs, we have access to divine guidance on what to do. And Almighty God tells us what we should do and not do with our best interest at heart. For example, the Church has always counseled and taught against birth control, especially in our own day with Bl. Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae declaring that birth control would be the ruination of the family and result in the objectifying women.
That was almost 50 years ago, right in time for the Sexual Revolution — the same Sexual Revolution that so many, many clerics simply rolled over in the face of and sacrificed their sheep for. One of the major effects of the Sexual Revolution was increased sex and decreased children. And now, the chickens are coming home to roost here in the United States. It's already happened in various parts of the world, as the United Nations has reported on for nearly 10 years, but now the declining birth rate is being felt here in the United States as U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan pointed out last week.
The United States is currently experiencing its lowest birth rate ever! And when the final numbers are in for 2017, it may be even lower — thank you, contraception and the accompanying contraceptive mentality. Birth control has had the effect of completely shifting American demographics to set us up for economic failure. It doesn't take a social scientist to figure out if you have fewer babies, you're going to pay an economic price down the road, and we are well on the way to being near the end of that road. Blessed Pope Paul VI didn't list out every problem that would go wrong if contraception became commonplace — contraception, by the way, that was introduced into the minds of Christians by errant Protestant thought but given fuel by cowardly Catholic bishops who didn't want to upset their congregations by preaching Catholic truth.
Sometimes when you do something wrong, you pay the price immediately. Other times, it takes a while for the consequences to come around. Generally speaking, the longer it takes for the consequences to come around, the bigger they are. As usual and in a certain sense, unfortunately, the Church was right again. When will mankind learn the Catholic Church is Christ on earth and when She preaches, you need to listen? When She is ignored, individual lives are ruined, communities pay a collective price, nations collapse, and souls are damned.
Choose life that you may live.

#Metoo (Michael Voris)
Duración 9:02 minutos
TRANSCRIPT
The culture has embraced contraception and sexual license, and what do we see — that the glorification of sex has resulted in the widespread acceptance of women being sexually abused, raped, harassed, treated as objects just as Bl. Pope Paul VI said it would. Not that these things didn't occur before the Sexual Revolution. Of course, they did. But the 1960s brought in an era where women increasingly went along with and accepted the objectification, selling their bodies to politicians and movie moguls and media giants and pornography distributors to advance their careers. They took off their clothes for movie cameras and engaged in sexual activity on the big screen and the small screen and helped fuel a climate of hyper-sexualization of the culture. They called this "liberation."
It permeated fashions, so-called art, entertainment and helped launch the world of pornography and sexual addiction. When you look at the sidelines of almost every NFL team, for example, you see scantily clad women who are essentially strippers, euphemistically called cheerleaders and directors happily cut to as many shots of their dancing around as the broadcast permits.
Women who have been abused, raped and harassed are victims, true. But many are not innocent victims. Some are. Others are not. To the extent that they have willingly ripped off their clothes with cameras rolling, dressed in the most provocative suggestive clothing specifically designed to draw attention to their sexual parts and cause sexual arousal, debased themselves to the level of lustful men and created a climate of sexual saturation, no one can be surprised by what is now being revealed. Do they deserve it — no. Can anyone actually be surprised? How could they?
Exactly what message do we think two or three generations of teenage boys are getting when Hollywood starlets act out explicit sex scenes in movies, oftentimes gratuitously? What do they walk out of the theater thinking about women, who in the movie plots, present themselves as sexual objects and use their sexual powers to advance themselves? And what about young women in the theaters watching these same scenes? Perhaps they are not aroused in the same manner as young men but what message are they getting? Take off your clothes, and the world is your oyster. That's the message.
This, of course, does not apply to all women, for some truly are victims, innocent victims. But just how much of a truly innocent victim is a woman who presents herself as a sexual object in her dress, speech, manner, interaction, profession and daily life and then — shocker — gets treated like a sexual object? Is the man wrong? Absolutely. Should he go to jail or pay a penalty in some other way? Almost assuredly.
But the elite feministas, please stop with the #MeToo when you went along with it and more than that actually encouraged it to advance your careers and standing in your professions. If you thrive in the hook-up culture, take birth control so you can engage in sex whenever you want, encouraging men to look on you as just a sex object, stop shrieking and feigning shock when you get treated like a sex object. You have contributed to the cause of the problem. Many of the #MeToo women have murdered their children in the womb, essentially fueling a climate where men can escape the responsibility of fatherhood and avoid any responsibility for their actions.
Sixty million and counting little Americans have been butchered alive — sacrificed on the altar on sexual license — just so many women could feel liberated and equal to men but equal only in the sense of sin and filth. Why would women in their noble desire to achieve social equality choose to be equal with regard to the dark side of masculinity?
Women may not share in the guilt of all this, as much as some men who cannot control themselves, but to pretend they are all innocent and spotless pure little lambs when they have stripped off for the covers of Playboy and the centerfolds of Penthouse, when they have been celebrated for their nudity by other women in the media and received Oscars and Golden Globes and accolades of every sort, again by other women, as well as men — come on ladies.
Is your view of "liberation" and "equality" a world where you can flaunt your sexual prowess and sport your sexuality in the most provocative manner imaginable and expect to not provoke? Is that what you want your daughters to learn being a woman is all about — flaunting your parts? Even Madonna's daughter was creeped out by her mother's sexual displays. Get yourselves and your daughters out of the skin-tight, practically painted-on jeans, the nearly non-existent swimsuits and near-transparent blouses, all designed specifically to get boys to look at them as sexual objects and then maybe your case of #MeToo would sound a little less shallow. But right now, even though it perhaps started as a good public awareness model, it has quickly deformed into a political weapon being used by the Democratic Party machinery to rev up the engines of the "War on Women" tactic in advance of the 2018 midterm elections.
When you stop wearing clothes and accepting roles specifically designed to accentuate how incredible it would be to have sex with you, then maybe people will stop viewing you as just someone to have sex with. And it can't go without saying, a woman who contracepts, regardless of the means, makes herself a sexual object for her partner. What else can she be for him once she chooses to contracept? When you consciously, intentionally eliminate the possibility of conception, it really is "just sex" and at least one makes him/herself a sexual object for the other!
So, no one should be surprised at the current rage of hypocrisies. "It's just sex" has become "normal" and has been for decades. No one should ever be treated like a sexual object but neither should anyone present themselves so obviously as exactly that and then be surprised at the response. Women who present like this are responsible for the sins men commit in response and will answer to God for the sins they inspired. Men will answer for those sins, too, but intentional and flagrant immodesty is not a "free pass" for women. They don't get to say "I have not one shred of responsibility for what men think and do in response to how I dress or appear nude in movies etc." when you are dressing or stripping precisely to make them think of you in sexual terms.
The emphasis of #MeToo needs to switch from "I was abused" to "I am going to own up to my share of the responsibility."
A little modesty goes a long way. It's why it's a virtue.

Jerarcas timoratos frente a la debacle bergogliana ( por Christopher A. Ferrara)
Entonces ahora debemos preguntarnos: ¿Dónde están los cardenales y los obispos? Con una o dos excepciones nobles (sin embargo inconsistentes), su respuesta a la debacle bergogliana va desde el silencio hasta la complicidad activa, y en el mejor de los casos, retorcerse las manos a causas del estado cada vez más caótico de la Iglesia mientras le ruegan al Papa que "aclare" sus intenciones ya perfectamente claras. En este punto, continuar abogando por una "aclaración" sólo puede dar lugar a una impresión de falsedad, mientras que el silencio continuo sobre el origen papal de esta catástrofe en curso es una reprimenda permanente a todos los jerarcas que saben lo que todos sabemos: que en el epicentro del caos está el Papa más díscolo que la Iglesia ha tenido que soportar.
Continúa la inacción mientras los laicos y algunos buenos sacerdotes han de defender por sí mismos, lo mejor que pueden, la enseñanza constante de la Iglesia contra los abusos de un tirano sentado en la Silla de Pedro cosa que amenaza a los jerarcas con un legado de vergüenza y una terrible rendición de cuentas ante el Juez Justo. El hecho de que (estos jerarcas) no defiendan la Fe enfrentándose a la persona que saben muy bien que la ataca casi a diario, se presta cada vez más a una acusación de pusilanimidad frente a un peligro sin precedentes para la Iglesia y la causa del Evangelio la cual están divinamente encargados de liderar.
El tiempo de la "prudencia" ya pasó. La prudencia ahora da paso a una mera pusilanimidad. El momento de la acción jerárquica es ahora, antes de que el daño a la Iglesia se vuelva irreparable. Los miembros de una jerarquía aparentemente intimidada por la tiranía papal que la Iglesia nunca antes ha visto deben levantarse inmediatamente y dar una valiente respuesta al desafío planteado hace mucho tiempo por Monseñor Klaus Gamber, cuando la crisis eclesial ya monumental estaba todavía en lo que ahora puede ser visto como simplemente una etapa preliminar:
Dijo Gamber: "¿Dónde están los líderes (de la Iglesia) que pueden mostrarnos el camino correcto? ¿Dónde están los obispos lo suficientemente valientes para cortar el crecimiento canceroso de la teología modernista que se ha implantado y se está pudriendo dentro de la celebración de incluso los misterios más sagrados, antes de que el cáncer se propague y cause un daño aún mayor? Lo que necesitamos hoy es un nuevo Atanasio, un nuevo Basilio, obispos como aquellos que en el siglo IV lucharon valientemente contra el arrianismo cuando casi toda la cristiandad había sucumbido a la herejía."
¿No se levantará ninguno de los jerarcas para defender a la Iglesia como "un nuevo Atanasio, un nuevo Basilo"? Incluso los mejores de ellos continúan limitándose a lamentos generalizados en conferencias o entrevistas sobre el estado lamentable de la Iglesia o, como máximo, la "confusión" que Francis ha causado al no "aclarar" precisamente lo que acaba de aclarar. Evitan la absoluta, necesaria, exposición del error, directa y pública en su origen. Ese error amenaza con desbordar a la Iglesia mientras hacen poco más que inquietarse por una situación cuya causa evidente -un imprudente Papa enamorado de sus propias ideas y lleno de desprecio por la Tradición- parecen incapaz de identificar.
Los clérigos y laicos preocupados en todo el mundo católico están haciendo lo que pueden según sus puestos. Pero en medio de esa "batalla final" sobre el matrimonio y la familia de la cual Sor Lucía advirtió al fallecido Cardenal Caffarra a la luz del Tercer Secreto de Fátima, dentro del elemento humano de la Iglesia, sólo los cardenales y los obispos poseen el poder divinamente otorgado para repeler un asalto al matrimonio, a la familia y a la misma integridad de la Fe que ahora, por primera vez en la historia de la Iglesia, está siendo dirigida por un Romano Pontífice.
Este desarrollo innegablemente apocalíptico impone a los jerarcas, primero y principalmente en la Iglesia, el deber de actuar. El verdadero amor a la Iglesia, en realidad, la verdadera caridad hacia el mismo Francisco, requiere de ellos nada menos que lo que se requería de San Pablo cuando el primer Papa cayó en el error y puso en peligro la mismísima misión de la Iglesia: que Pedro sea resistido (Gal. 2:11). Que Nuestra Señora de Fátima interceda para obtener para ellos la gracia de la fortaleza de hacer lo que deben hacer y lo que sólo ellos pueden hacer. Nuestras esperanzas y oraciones están con ellos como los principales instrumentos de la divina providencia en la ecclesia Dei adflicta.
!Nuestra Señora de Fátima, intercede por nosotros!

Incoherencias del papa Francisco
Duración 3:05 minutos
Golden Handshake: The Vatican wants to save face after the embarrassing November dismissal of Giulio Mattietti, the former deputy director of the Vatican Bank. Without notice, Mattietti was kicked out of the Vatican. No reason was given and Mattietti himself was utterly surprised by the move. Now, according to the Corriere della Sera the Vatican wants to clean up the mess by giving Mattietti who has worked for decades for the Vatican, a golden handshake and by offering him a pension although he is nowhere near pension age.
Theory and Practice: On December 13, Pope Francis’ council of Cardinals published a press briefing about its most recent meeting. It informed that the Vatican aims at reducing the personnel of the Vatican media. But in March 2017, when the Italian TV station Sky Italia decided to reduce the number of collaborators, Pope Francis said during a General Audience – quote, “Who takes away the work from man commits a very serious sin.”
Enemy of the Church: Last Friday Socialist Bolivia President Evo Morales visited Pope Francis in the Apostolic Palace. Morales greeted Francis with the words “Good day, Brother Pope Francis”. Francis called Morales by his first name, “Evo”. Morales is known for his anti-Church stances. He has fought the bishops of his country, has pushed for the secularization of schools, promoted paganism, introduced a secular state, seized Church property, and called to abolish Catholic national holidays.
Retreating Into Piety (Michael Voris)

TRANSCRIPT
If there was ever a time for militancy in the Church, this is that time. But please note, militancy comes in a variety of forms. There is, of course, the militancy of faith — prayer, fasting, sacrifices etc. But there is also the militancy of action, of works. Faith, after all, without works, is dead.
There is an attitude among many faithful Catholics that bishops and priests simply can never be questioned and certainly not challenged. Many of the more progressive or careerist bishops and priests play this up to their advantage. Which is kind of funny because while insisting on a degree of obedience from the laity — a degree of obedience the laity do not owe to bad prudential decisions — they themselves will be disobedient in matters of which they actually are supposed to be obedient.
For example, let's begin with proper instruction in the Faith — an area massively ignored for the past 50 years and still ignored or substituted for with protestantized, watered-down instruction. If you got to hear the radio interview with a local Scranton, Pennsylvania, radio show last week where I was a guest and talking about Fr. James Martin's scheduled address there, the host, a pleasant enough fellow, Frank Andrews, at one point said to me he was "uncomfortable" with challenging bishops. He had viewed an earlier Vortex where I said Bp. Joseph Bambera was flat out wrong for supporting homosexualist James Martin and had, as a consequence, made the label of homosexualist apply to himself as well. He is advancing, defending and promoting the homoheresy, as Polish priest Fr. Darius Oko calls it. So a cleric, any cleric, who supports the homoheresy is by definition a homosexualist. But notice the immediate reaction. The host was "uncomfortable" with criticizing a bishop or priest for that fact.
That whole approach is how the homosexual, priest-sex abuse crisis rose to the disastrous level it did with thousands of wounded souls — some of whom committed suicide — and $4 billion in damages and counting — right, Cdl. Timothy Dolan, who just shelled out another $40 million dollars. Remember that New York Catholics when Dolan comes around with his tin cup.
We laity do not owe obedience to a bishop or cleric's bad prudential decision that has the effect of destroying the Faith through scandal. Bishop's all over the country told naive laity back in the day not to mention anything about Fr. Chester the Molester. Then, they transferred him to parish after parish. They played the laity, capitalizing on their image of one commanding obedience in all things, which they do not.
Yet still, good Catholics have this wrong. They are still "uncomfortable" with saying things about a bishop or priest's decisions that are harmful to the Church. From allowing bad dissident priests to run parishes, to horrible heterodox faculty at seminaries, to backing homoheresy-promoting priests, to keeping their mouths shut very tightly about contraception etc, the list of abuses is mind-boggling. And of course, they paint the whole social justice garbage agenda — immigration, climate change, gun control, the death penalty - as though it's dogma, and they can never be challenged.
The task of helping advance the Faith and saving the Church has fallen directly to the laity as Venerable Abp. Fulton Sheen said 40 years ago. And since we are not just spiritual beings but also composed of matter, existing in the material world, our purely spiritual works must be joined to temporal works as well.
Consider for a moment what Our Blessed Lord desires from us. Think about the wedding at Cana when Our Blessed Mother launched Our Lord to His Sacred Passion by asking Him to reveal His Divinity by performing the miracle of producing wine where there formerly was none. Did Our Lord just wave His hands and voila, there was wine? No. He desired that human agency participates in His action. He bade the waiters to "fill the jars with water." Why? He could have just had the thought, and they would have been filled with water. In fact, He would have just skipped the whole water part and gone straight to the wine. Why the water? Because he wanted humanity to have a participation in His miraculous working, and it was quite the participation.
Back in the day, the amount of effort to fill those large jars with water would have been enormous — going back and forth to the well, drawing the water out, transporting it back to the location of the jars, filling them up. Only after humanity had supplied the material labor so to speak, did Our Blessed Lord step in and finish the job.
We cannot simply retreat into piety in these difficult and challenging days in the Church. We must fill the jars with water — do the backbreaking work that we are capable of doing — have some "skin in the game" so to speak and not just sit back and wait for a miracle and claim that we trust when the reality is that we are actually lazy or selfish. Say a few prayers, and I've done my part. Not good enough, if you or your state in life render you capable of doing more.
Make sure you are not tricking yourself by focusing so much on prayer that you never actually roll up your sleeves and do the work that faith demands.
