This case well illustrates the hypocrisy that exists in the Church today. If someone somewhere advocates for the old mass, the result is immediate censure. Yet the most extreme blasphemies that may be said and depicted are met with silence or tacit approval. One cannot view these paintings and fail to see the message that sexual experimentation is part of the faith. Certainly many bishops have engaged in carnal excess - that is simply human nature and history, and the remedy for prelate and layman is the same. But that a bishop would have the temerity to lie about it - to go so far as to defend it as moral - - is truly lamentable. It reflects a profound loss of mission as well as a contempt for Christian decency that is shameful. It is telling that a prosecutor, and not the bishop's brothers in the episcopacy, brings the denunciation. It rings a bell that is painful to hear.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
