ReplyDeleteSTATEMENT: You do not appear overly concerned with the world-wide metastasis of the Catholic deaconate, seminary, diocesan priesthood, religious life, and hierarchy by the moral malignancy of this grievous sin which Scripture tells us brought the wrath of God in the form of fire and brimstone down upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: Who am I to judge?
Deo Gratias
