I agree with you:, most endorsements aren't worth the paper and ink that they're written with (if they even get that much effort from anyone anymore).
I can also agree with you that SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY NOT RIGHT with the Catholic church right now in a lot of areas. If only we could turn back the clock to the Vietnam era and light a fire under their clergy to screen applicants for Catholic seminaries far more stringently. Doing so would have kept out the draft dodgers, the pedophiles, the Communists... and there wouldn't leadership at the top now from the Pope on down throwing out long-standing Catholic doctrines and practices while replacing them with pagan Gaia worship and other evil.
As for the sex offenders, Andrew, I am not in the least sympathetic. I look at the high cost of these programs to taxpayers, and I wonder why we're allowing this flagrant abuse of the public trust and the public purse. While I believe in the power of God to transform and save any life, I also believe that He has laid out clear instructions for dealing with evil that rises to this level--and it involves swift execution of the offenders. If you destroy someone else's life (and you are an adult), then your life should likewise be forfeit.
As a recovering Catholic, I have not been to a catholic church for nearly 30 years. I got tired of the mantra you're a bad person if you have money, yet the priest would admonish people to give him more money. The final straw was the church I went to was a landing zone for a well known pedophile, and a outright Marxist.
So now the leaders pushing a false prophet of climate change is not surprising. Let me guess they drive their 50k car to church, take regular luxury vacations in which they fly. The hypocrisy of the leadership is predictable and not surprising at all
