He's pretty much one of the only American Bishops that are really speaking out publicly against this menace. And the fact that anti-pope Bergoglio wants to cancel him is infuriating for many American Catholics. Imagine if your favorite pastor got cancelled/arrested.
I struggle in this way - I view Catholicism as a flawed religion based on power and control. Much like our government with its controlled opposition and 2 party system that seems to simultaneously hate and benefit each other, I fall into the mindset that when I see dissenters belonging to the same powerful group (in this case the Catholic Church) I tend to start by questioning the authenticity of the detractor based on a healthy dose of pessimism.
And then, I think to myself, is that what the bad guys want you to do and that’s how they silence the truly good people that exist in their ranks?
And then I get tired and fall asleep and forget I wrote this until I see a red dot indicating someone smarter than me replied back with a common sense answer and I hover over the delete button but leave whatever comment I placed as my penance lol
