"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing." -Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.

Intrinsically evil "A Roman Catholic archbishop who resigned in 2002 over a sex and financial scandal involving a man describes his struggles with being gay in an upcoming memoir about his decades serving the church."
"Called "A Pilgrim in a Pilgrim Church: Memoirs of a Catholic Archbishop," the book is set to be released in June."
"Weakland stepped down soon after Paul Marcoux, a former Marquette University theology student, revealed in May 2002 that he was paid $450,000 to settle a sexual assault claim he made against the archbishop more than two decades earlier. The money came from the archdiocese."
"Weakland denied ever assaulting anyone. He apologized for concealing the payment. "
"In an August 1980 letter that was obtained by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Weakland said he was in emotional turmoil over Marcoux and that he had "come back to the importance of celibacy in my life." He signed the letter, "I love you.""
"He was a hero for liberal Catholics nationwide because of his work on social justice and other issues,"
"In a videotaped deposition released last November, Weakland admitted returning guilty priests to active ministry without alerting parishioners or police."
"Weakland said he wrote in the memoir that he was unprepared for "how lonely it is" to be a bishop"
"Weakland said Christians needed to speak more openly about gays in the priesthood "
""I refused to let myself become a victim "
Do you all see the pattern here - the "hero" for liberal catholics is just a sad abomination , a thief and a abuse enabler who still wants to pervert the church after being exposed .
But wait , there is more
"In the book, "The Changing Face of the Priesthood," the Rev. Donald B. Cozzens suggests that the priesthood is, or is becoming, a gay profession."
"Cozzens, who heads Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of Theology in Cleveland, is a respected priest who previously authored a well-received book on priestly spirituality."
"The Changing Face of the Priesthood won a first-place award (professional books category) from the Catholic Press Association"
"He addressed “attempts to rid the priesthood of homosexuals by blocking seminary admission to gay candidates” in an essay published by the New York Daily News last October. Not only would this be “difficult to enforce,” but there’s also a “dimension of hypocrisy,” he wrote, since “in many cases the seminary official, religious superior or diocesan bishop who informs a gay candidate for seminary admission that he is not acceptable will be gay himself.”
"Better for all, Cozzens says, to dispense with prescribed celibacy while continuing to pray for the charism"
