Cardinal McCarrick "Laicized" – McCarrickism Continues

He should really be behind bars. Not on vacation somewhere.

I was reading a Church History book where they took an archbishop out and hung him for less. I guess the golf course is the same thing in today's terms.

@Jim Dorchak: They should have "punished" him, when he was doing mischief. At this point, these men of God should have left Cardinal McCarrick alone and the punishment to God. A man of honor does not touch an 88-year-old doter. But I have never pretended that our prelates are men of honor.

Agree. It would have some significance if McCarrick were 65 and still in power. As it is, his laicization is little else than a pathetic political gesture intended to distract from all of Francis' corrupt friends.

He is an old and withered tethered goat.. A lame sacrifice.

@Dr Bobus: The public execution of Cardinal McCarrick bears the Vatican's fingerprints: Strong with the weak, and weak with the strong.

Viganò's question is still open - what did Pope Francis knew?

There is no honor among thieves.

Time to get the rest of these idiots out of God's Church

Rainbow cinctures are going to happen now. Just watch. Readers may laugh, but just wait until His Holiness starts wearing one and publicly defends it with Genesis 9:13-16.

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

You can count me among the group which realises that the old punishments for clerical sexual offenders - i.e., death in some instances - were much fairer and better than the current ones, but also in the group which considers 'punishing' McCarrick by laicisation - however fitting - to be a largely pointless act.

The men who he promoted within his ranks are now bishops and cardinals, and the man who he helped elect to the highest office is still pope, not to mention that his roommate and closest associate is the man now apponted by aforementioned 'pope' to be in charge of arranging the next papal conclave.
