jasJis Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 There's something on the Open Mic thread that hints that more Bishops have failed to comply with the requirements of the Vatican and USCCB for disclosure and dealing with the sex abuse scandal. I'm beginning to hope we lose some Bishops over this. My Diocese only had to change a few minor items to comply because it already had in place stringent rules and standards. For us, it's been a relatively minor issue and I don't understand the logic of Diocese covering this stuff up. I was reading the thread about the Triumph of the Church that pointed out this whole scandal is a symptom of the liberalizatin of the Church and people wanting to try new things and attitudes with 'loving the sinner but condemning the sin' and the idea that it's a good thing this is blowing up because the Bishops drifted too far from condemning the sin.

dUSt Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I'm presently involved with the Diocese of Dallas regarding a different matter (a phatmass event), but have not heard anything about anything else... What are the rumors and where did you hear them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Don Bosco...help us. Could he mean this? [url="http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dws/spe/2004/runawaypriests/"]http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dws/spe/2004/runawaypriests/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasJis Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 This is horrid. I used to donate to the Salesian Missions. Again, it's a matter of Clergy defying the greater Church rules and directions. The Orders and Bishops need to follow the Church panels and directives to remove the priests as ordered instead of thwarting the Church and the civil law.

PedroX Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 May God have mercy on us! I had heard that the report was coming, but had no idea...It is so hard to know how to respond to this. I think we need to begin doing reparation on behalf of our leaders and beg for Mercy and Grace. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroX Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Cmom, I am the first to remember such things, but read the story. Copies of Church disciplianry hearings, court convictions, etc. Its not pretty. I know the press is often the enemy of the church, but sometimes God uses it to purify us as well. peace...
