Hey, the touchy-feely, sloppy thinking, non-thinking, feeling-its-way to truth and goodness is on painful display at a holy gathering of holy bishops of the once-claiming-to-be the one true church but now trying to change how some young people think and solidify others in their already touchy-feely sloppy thinking etc.

What a show, which you can watch right here but shouldn’t if you have nervous stomachs: Leading Pro-Life Campaigner: Synod political mess of leftist talking points

The case against Pope Francis: National Review

The British monk-blogger cites U.S. bishops as a collective blot on the ecclesiastical landscape for their see-no-evil record in regards to McCarrick et al. but feels obliged to add:

After all, in England we had a similar case, that of Bishop [Kieran] Conry and his long-standing relationship with a mistress.

It was very well known in ecclesiastical circles, even from his days in Rome apparently. Yet he was promoted anyway.

Did any bishop protest at the time? The Conry case has one essential difference: his sin was with a woman, so a collective sigh of relief that it was not a minor encouraged silence.

Nor with a seminarian or other adult male, right? And in both cases ignored by the Vatican, and even some popes.

And unmentioned by the monk blogger. Bishop C.’s liaison was with a married woman and came after another six years earlier.

As Mehitabel the alley cat moaned repeatedly to his friend the cockroach, “Wotthehell, wotthehell, Archy?”
