I worked for the NYPD for a summer as a young woman. I’m the daughter of a NYPD bias. I have also worked closely w/nuns, & I followed BXVI sh*tty deeply misogynist Apostolic Visitation in 2014. 1/ star-telegram.com/news/local/for…
2/The institution Roman Catholic Church is in great part a transnational crime syndicate. To clutch one’s pearls over nuns w/bongs is quiet naive. The prelates literally traffic children & cover it up. They just lost $17 million in the #Vatican!
3/Nuns are pretty neat, generally. And communities of nuns are rarely unaccustomed to being dogged by the bishops in charge of the dioceses in which they operate & live.
This degenerate prelate , Olson, has been getting lousy press for a few days & suddenly a snitch turns up>
4/photos indicating that the Carmelites are “breaking bad”?
Smells hinky.

Attending Masses in a Franciscan parish was one of my last stops before reluctantly taking a break from Roman #Catholic communal worship. I had a fairly high opinion of this order. 1/
2/usfranciscans.org/home/join-us/

This #lenslouse priest is not particularly adept at RC theology, & I believe lacks the sophistication to see how dangerous his misogynist & white suprenacists takes really are. in other words, he’s not malevolent — he’s just not that bright.
3/He’s also a raging Narcissist & half-a-trad (Opus Dei flavored, is my guess). Please #Catholics, report these manchildren !

1/“One of the several reasons the current archbishop of Baltimore (William Lori) must resign is that he kept names off the list knowing that it would reduce victims’ opportunity to file suit and thereby save his archdiocese money. This egregious > indietheology.substack.com/p/part-8-the-f…
2/“inclination indicates that the archbishop may be morally unfit to lead any religious organization or community. This disposition may suggest the presence of kind of sociopathic disregard for all vulnerable people and children.”
3/This Fr. Carney whose case I look at here, was a buddy of Maskell’s. you see through the dossier on his depravity, how nursing homes sometimes became dumping grounds for rapist clerics.

“The high court has pressed the Catholic church to explain why it didn’t have an adequate opportunity 50 years ago to investigate the extent of a priest’s abuse of children, given there were ‘red flags everywhere’ about his crimes. 1/ theguardian.com/australia-news…
2/“The court on Thursday began hearing a key case about a legal tactic now routinely being employed by the church and other institutions to permanently shield themselves from abuse survivors’ civil claims for compensation.”
3/This is a story about the Roman Catholic Church in Australia.

#Catholics everywhere should take note.

Church officials who manipulate documentation to defend against lawsuits are guilty of egregious misconduct.

I’m digging into (reading about) the Carmelite nuns & the hysterical man-baby bishop story. I’m doing so as I reread & write about the Maryland AG ‘s report #ClergyChildRape & #ClergyAbuse In Archdiocese of Baltimore. 1/
2/Over & over again in this MD AG report there are guys who went to Catholic rape rehabs two & three time & were never publicly outed. Families were never alerted re: these perpetrators histories when bishops cycled them back into ministry with children.
3/The story of these nuns may never come out. The talk the “adultery” of one is shocking, b/c one rarely (save, perhaps #Catholic ‘Grindr-gate’) ever hears of a bishop moving to slap a big red “A” on the back of a sexually active cleric.

1/“Whatever changes the people had wanted from the 1962-65 Second Vatican Council were, it seemed, formless, silent, lost in the bustle of a busy church frozen in a medieval mind. Instead, after 400 years without a council of reform, > ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-vo…
2/“the kinds of changes the people had expected from this council lay yet in Rome, drying in wet ink there and largely ignored here.”
3/“Oh, a few churches redesigned their confession boxes and a few more took down the altar rails, but really, other than that and the move to the vernacular in all liturgical events — nothing much did happen. Most of the changes were window dressing.”
