General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: NY Priest "Apologizes" for Saying Children are Often the "Seducer" [View all]"We have no reason to believe that what Groeschel said was not what he has believed all his life."
Who is "we?"
Are you their spokesperson?
Why do you think a Franciscan Friar like Fr. Groeschel and not a Jesuit like James Martin, who said in 'The New York Times,' "Blaming the abused for their abuse is indefensible" speaks for the entire Catholic Church?
"We're not the people who are advocating the spread of hatred, inequality, and intolerance on a daily basis.
The leaders of the Catholic Church are the ones doing this."
Again with the "we" and this time with a "them."
I have no interest in talking about this with someone who has so clearly and absolutely made up their mind. You don't want to discuss; you just want to pontificate. Let me offer you some closing advice - Choose your enemies carefully, for they are what you become.
Godspeed.
