   "ONE NEED NOT LOOK FARTHER THAN TODAY'S HEADLINES TO REALIZE THAT MANY IN THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY HAVE RUN AMUCK.

    We all know about the disgusting behavior of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. The fact that his escapades span years is mind-boggling. We may never know how many victims fell prey to this behavior, but God knows. And, sadly, so does the devil, and you can believe that he is reveling in this scandal, for he knows that the best way to destroy the Church is from within.

    DOCUMENTS SUGGEST THAT McCARRICK'S PRACTICES WERE AN "OPEN SECRET" THAT THEY WERE WIDELY KNOWN OR GUESSED AT BY FAR TOO MANY OF HIS PEERS. THIS IS ANOTHER SCANDAL!

    To make matters worse, McCarrick is not the only one creating scandal. We know that Atlanta, Georgia's archbishop, Wilton Gregory, has appointed a pro-homosexual priest, Monsignor Henry Gracz, pastor of the Catholic Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta, to be a spiritual guide to sex abuse victims. That is an oxymoron if we ever heard one.

    We also know that Cardinal Donald Wuerl has had his share of scandals dating all the way back to his days in Pittsburgh. Wuerl says he is not guilty of covering up sexual abuse among the priests during his Pittsburgh days, but I don't buy it.

    Frankly these bishops have run in a pack for a long time. I like to call it the Old-Boys Network. Historically the hierarchy has been riddled with examples of treachery dating all the way back to the 1950s, if not farther. This fact is detailed in John Jay Report commissioned by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, though nothing was ever done about it.

    ADD TO ALL THIS THE CONDITION OF SEMINARIES THAT AUTHOR MICHAEL ROSE DETAILED IN HIS SEMINAL BOOK GOODBYE, GOOD MEN. (I READ THE BOOK, ghk) ROSE WROTE ABOUT RAMPANT HOMOSEXUALITY AND STATED THAT SOME SEMINARIES HAD MONIKERS LIKE THE 'PINK PALACE' AND NOT A FINGER WAS LIFTED TO CLEAN UP THESE PLACES.

    Something is terribly wrong! In my opinion, these horrific wrongs began with disregard for Christ in the Eucharist. All three of the Catholic mentioned here have refused to obey Catholic Church law regarding protection of the sacrament of Holy Eucharist from scandal. The law in question, Canon 915, states in part that those who are "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."

     MORE THAN 13 YEARS AGO AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE CALLED ON EVERY CATHOLIC BISHOP TO OBEY CANON 915 AS IT APPLIES TO CATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLY POLITICIANS WHO SUPPORT ABORTING OF PREBORN BABIES. OUR CAMPAIGN SPANNED SEVERAL YEARS, AND WHILE MANY BISHOPS DID BEGIN TO DEFEND CHRIST FROM SACRILEGE, THESE THREE WERE AMONG THE MANY WHO DIDN'T.  AND OH, WHAT EXCUSES THEY GAVE!

    McCarrick said publicly: "As a priest and bishop, I do not favor a confrontation at the altar rail with the sacred body of the Lord Jesus in my hand." He also said that denying Holy Eucharist to a pro-abortion public figure made him "uncomfortable." (TO BE CONTINUED)
