Former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland, one of the most influential liberal American prelates of the 20th century, died last Monday. He resigned in 2002 after it came out that he had paid hush money to a male Marquette University graduate student who accused him of date rape. Most stories about Weakland’s death alluded to this scandal but didn’t spell out its details.

Is there a more appropriate name for a modern archbishop than Weakland?

Another evil perverted infiltrator in the Church, and good riddance, and he and his master, Satan, are now reunited.

If you read this article, and others like it, you should have no problem figuring out why so many young families with children have left and are leaving the American Catholic Church.

#3, I am old, retired and my kid is all grown up with kids of her own.
This guy, among other reasons, is why I left the American Catholic Church.

Considering the Roman Catholic Church’s belief in transubstantiation, the question of whether or not the purity of God would permit sinful mortals (clergy) the power to turn the earthly elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus—to touch the body and blood of Jesus in administering Holy Communion to church members. Scripture provides an account of God striking dead Uzzah for having put his hand out to steady the ark of God when the oxen stumbled. The anger of the Lord struck him down on the threshing floor because of what Uzzah did and he died beside the ark of God. (2 Samuel 6:6-7)

I am an Oblate in the Benedictine order. Weakland was nothing like St. Benedict nor any of the wonderful Benedictines I know. I pray that he repented at some point because if he didn't and persisted in his sins, I shudder to think about the fate of his soul.

I recall a program back in the 1990s, where Chris Matthews was discussing the issue of homosexuality among Catholic priests.
Matthews said he had visited a seminary, and 'it was like being in a gay bar.'

You have to remember that the Roman Catholic Church like other religions is actually made up of two divisions or parts. First there is the worldly church that we are hearing about in this article, including the situation that was commented on by poster #11 above. But you can still go through the Pearly Gates after telling the really evil parts of the worldly church to go to hell, as long as you believe in the teachings that relate to the most important second faction or part of the church known as the spiritual church.
