IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBGEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - MON. NOV. 19/18

HERE IS THE REST OF THE ARTICLE FROM LETTER # 1

 

"DAN GODDUE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SAID THE BISHOPS NEED TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN CLERICALISM, THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE OF HOMOSEXUALITY WITHIN THE PRIESTHOOD AND THE EPISCOPATE," AND REMIND THEMSELVES OF WHAT THE CATECHISM SAYS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY.

 

PARENTS: WE CAN'T TRUST YOU:

"BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS," URGED GARY CUMMINGS OF WEST VIRGINIA," AND RESTORE THE SANCTITY TO THEIR POSITION. THERE IS NO WAY ANY PARENT IN AMERICA WILL ENTRUST THEIR CHILDREN TO A SEMINARY, AT THIS POINT, IF THEY CONTINUE ON THIS PATH," ADDED CUMMINGS."

 

JUDY MURRAY, WHO TRAVELED FROM TEXAS WITH HER TWO SISTERS, ISSUED A SIMILAR PLEA. "WE WANT OUR BISHOPS TO SHEPHERD US. WE DON'T WANT TO BE AFRAID OF OUR LITTLE CHILDREN BECOMING ALTAR BOYS & SOMETHING HAPPENING TO THEM WITH PREDATOR PRIESTS

 

ADMIT THE TRUTH OR RESIGN:

"EVERY BISHOP SHOULD MAKE A STATEMENT OF WHAT HE KNOWS, OF WHAT CASES HE'S DEALT WITH, AND IF HE'S COVERED UP, HE NEEDS TO ADMIT IT." SUGGESTED DONNA BETHELL. "'BROTHER, YOU NEED TO COME CLEAN ON THIS.' AND IF HE WON'T, AS OUR LORD SAID IN MATTHEW 18, 'TELL THE CHURCH. "WE MUST KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS. IF A BISHOP IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE A STATEMENT OF WHAT HE KNOWS, HE DOESN'T NEED AN INVESTIGATION, HE NEEDS TO RESIGN, ADDED BETHELL. " WE NEED TO TELL HIM SO: BISHOP MAKE A STATEMENT..."

 

LISTEN TO VIGANO:

"Jonathan Taylor of Greenbelt, Maryland, said he wants the bishops to heed Archbishop Vigano's appeal to them "to come forward with documents and everything that they know, to the record out there so that we an figure out how to address this issue."

 

A SPIRITUAL EARTHQUAKE:

"I WANT THE BISHOPS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A SPIRITUAL EARTHQUAKE," SAID KATHLEEN FRAMPTON OF COLUMBIA, MARYLAND," AND THAT WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH NOW IS AKIN TO WHAT PEOPLE WENT THROUGH BEFORE THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION."

If they don't appreciate the gravity of the situation, the Church will clear out very quickly," continued Frampton. "I hope they will have the courage to deal with the root causes."

 

This is potentially a watershed event in the life of the Church in the United States," said Richard Bonono, an electrical engineer who runs a nuclear fusion laboratory at the University of Wisconsin. "Either things get better from here, or they fall apart completely." Bonomo said we need to pray for the bishops to the men that they should be. "They need to break free of the shackles that they are wearing.

 

"It is time," declared Kirsten McCall of Virginia, "It's over. We know about it."

THE BISHOPS "NEED TO STEP UP. WE NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE, TO SHINE A LIGHT ON IT AND ROOT OUT THE EVIL GOING ON TODAY," HOMOSEXUALITY, WHICH "IS LIKE A CONCERN," ADDED McCALL.

BRENDA SCOTT OF NEW IBERIA, LOUISIANA, SAID, "IT IS TIME FOR THE BISHOPS TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM IN THE CHURCH FOR WHAT IT IS: THE HOMOSEXUAL INFILTRATION INFILTRATION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH" AND THE COVERING THAT HAS PROTECTED IT. 

 

"THE PROBLEM HERE HAS BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED ORDINATION OF PRACTICING HOMOSEXUALS," SAID KEVIN GLEESON, WHO WAS AT THE RALLY WITH HIS DAUGHTER, JEMMA. "THE APPROACH TO THIS HAS BEEN TO BURY THAT, TO DO PAYOFFS AND KEEP THESE GUYS IN MINISTRY. "THEY ARE ORDAINING PROBLEMS, AND PERPETUATING IT" ADDED GLEESON. "THAT MUST STOP."
