Well, I suppose I should open about the recent scandals....I suppose I shouldn't mince words....so here we go...
a. I am blessed to consider amongst my friends several great priests and bishops amongst my circle of friends who are in the church of Rome that are disgusted by the filth that has entered their ranks and who have done much to seek to out the filth, only to be ignored, brushed off, or blackmailed into silence. You are not the ones about to be ripped into....
b. One of my favorite sayings over these past years has been "With Bishops' like these, who needs enemies?" It seems that this is much more accurate than I wished for it t be. There is no excuse for allowing behavior like this to go on.. It doesn't matter whether those that committed the crimes are dead or not. There is no excuse for hiding these kinds of crimes, just to protect an image, a paycheck, or one's status within the church of Rome. I can't defend any of this
c. While a married clergy would not prevent all abuse situations, it would make it harder (note, NOT impossible) for those in the lavender mafia to hide, or use the cloak of celibacy to hide themselves. Eventually, those that are in the mafia will not find themselves to be in a situation where they are comfortable in. It would be easier to take allegations more seriously, as there would be a personal connection. (Yes, married Bishops were a thing until a council that took place in Egypt in some year that I forgot off the top of my head). There were several moments when I was at Roman indoctrination camp (aka Seminary), and the religious order that made me go "whoa" or made me quite uncomfortable (and I'm thankful that things happened as they did)....Yes, they knew, and did NOTHING about the problems.
d. So how do the homosexuals in the priesthood, Lavender Mafia work? They find people who have been through traumatic events, or very rough events...Presuming these people would be easier to groom because they are broken and can thus be taken advantage of, and a potential victim. If those people dare show signs of standing up for themselves, they come up with "formation issues" TM or dare accuse you of something blatantly false, and send you or anyone like you on your merry way.....It takes a ton of submarining to be able to survive amongst them. Those of you that made it, purely by the grace of God did you make it through,....
e. Your Excellencies, Eminences, allow me to provide some actual solutions to the graves you have dug yourselves into.
1. Cancel ALL USCCB meetings.....
2. Cancel all fundraisers
3. Invest in some good camera equipment (you'll be needing it for the rest of this list)
4. A 40 day (The length of Lent) PUBLIC broadcast of reparation services (If you need help, I've got people that can make this happen
), falling prostrate before Our Lord in the Tabernacle (for those of you too embarrassed to show your face) or Exposed (preferred). (At a monastery, cameras on the whole time) During this time, you are NOT to celebrate Mass, receive Communion (you may make use of the sacrament of Confession, you'll need it).
5. Those parishes (whether cathedrals, monasteries, whatever) where the abuse occurred, are to be temporarily on interdict. (They have been profaned and need to be reconsecrated)....These parishes should also be doing reparation services outside of the parish grounds. Full prostrations.
6. At the end of the 40 day period, the parishes are to be re-consecrated to the Lord using the Old Ritual. (You're going to need all the help you can get).....
7. Now you are to take all the priests that you have hidden, and laicize them immediately. All those convicted of crimes, those that covered up, everyone, PURGE ALL OF THEM OUT!!!!! Leave no stone unturned.
8. Now that you've done this....you are to immediately abdicate your position as bishop (cardinal, etc. (Or if a lay person, whatever position that one has).....No waiting for Rome to accept, no making stupid committees, ain't nobody got time for these games....GET OUT!
9. You are to surrender yourselves to the proper authorities for appropriate punishment. You are to surrender all documents or evidence to the local Attorney General, and cooperate fully, freely, and with full candor to any questions that they will ask of you. I'd love for the church to punish, but well, Rome has proven it moves way to slow. You have dug your grave, it is time to lie in it.
10. (Yes, that means the guy in Rome needs to resign too)
11. Perhaps it's not possible to undo the canonizations of JPII and Paul VI, but one can remove them from the public calendar.
12. Those that are to replace the abdicated, are to be FULLY VETTED by a lay commission (not made up of those who donate the most club), for Orthodoxy, any perversions, etc. Then, and only then should those results be presented to the new pope of Rome.

Nothing Short of the above 12 steps will be enough...At least in my book. You have broken the trust (in humanity) of the lay faithful (and you will not be getting it back).......Yes, you're forgiven, but justice must be done, and certainly you have my prayers.
