The great awakening is underway.
The unmasking of McCarrick exposed the pervasive prelate coverup of homosexual sexual predation in the American Catholic Church. These swarmy power brokers have colluded far too long at the tragic expense of innocent boys and seminarians. For 60 years, Ted McCarrick roamed the halls of seminaries, harassing, raping, and assaulting young males around the world. His brother bishops all knew and they all stayed silent.

His dismissive arrogance oozes off the computer screen. He barely can contain his congenial disdain for this meddlesome matter. One scant minute is all he can muster to defend, distance and obscure his friendship with a sexual monster. Yet, 60 seconds is all we need to see this calloused soul, this lilliputian of a man with his mediocre and mendacious mind, who rose from the clerical ranks to Vatican heights.

The Deep State Church mastered the art of crisis management talking points. Make no mistake that the diocese media consultants carefully synchronized their statements about the Cardinal Theodore McCarrick sex abuse debacle. The purpose of crisis management is to contain the scandal and thwart any further disclosures of wrongdoing.
Last week, the Catholic twitter verse was chattering about Bishop Thomas Tobin’s embarrassing, but appropriate questionto Cardinal Kevin Farrell.Bishop Thomas Tobin of Rhode Island, (not to be confused with Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark), called out Cardinal Kevin Farrell for his gratuitous comments that priests have no credibility when it comes to instructing couples on marriage. Bishop Tobin tweeted a pertinent question to Cardinal Farrell, who is the head of the Vatican Dicastery on Laity, Family and Life.

**The often repeated plea of clergy abuse victims who viewed their priest abuser as an alter Christus.
Moments after the news broke that the Archdiocese of New York found credible child sex abuse allegations against Cardinal Emeritus Theodore McCarrick of Washington, D.C., another shoe dropped.
Catholics would learn that the Church has settled with more victims of Fr. Ted McCarrick!

Surprise, Surprise! Cardinal Emeritus Theodore McCarrick of Washington, D.C. is removed from ministry based on a credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor some 45 years ago.
Lady Justice is delayed, but not denied?
This case raises serious questions for clergy abuse victims.
Every clerical coverup needs an enforcer who staunchly defends the accused, threatens the victims, shuts down debate, and intimidates anyone dares to speaks out.
Francis personally assumed the enforcer role in the Bishop Barros coverup.
For the last 3 years, the world watched Francis, the papal bully, as he scolded, demeaned, stonewalled, deceived, and lashed out at anyone who criticized his appointment of Chilean Bishop Juan Barros.
“It is the Argentine attitude: Suppress and ignore”—V.S. Naipaul
'I was part of the problem' Pope Francis was quoted telling the Chile abuse victims.
Your Holiness,
No. You weren’t part of the problem... you are the entire problem. You appointed and elevated a predator protector. For three years, you steadfastly protected him, despite overwhelming evidence that he should be removed as Bishop and from priestly ministry.
You suppressed and ignored a tsunami of requests, pleas and evidence about Bishop Juan Barros’ complicity and involvement with predator priest, Fr. Fernando Karadima. In 2011, Karadima was removed from his priestly duties and banished to a life of penitence, after a guilty finding at the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
For those of you fed up with the treatment of faithful clergy and laity who uphold the Catholic dogma and faith, it’s time to dialogue in the spirit of Pope Francis!
The latest sacking of the highly esteemed American theologian Fr. Thomas Weinandy, O.F.M., Cap. by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for his letter of correction to Pope Francis demands a response from the laity.
Read Fr. Weinandy’s powerful letter to the Pope here.
Read the weaselly, lightening-quick response from the USCCB here and here.
Despite the incessant papal dialogue drumbeat, there is no dialogue, only dismissals.
