The seeming favoritism afforded such clerics as Jesuits James Martin and Cardinal Tucho Fernandez (How do you author the vile Heal Me with Your Mouth and then head the Doctrine of the Faith?), as well as the former Jesuit Marko Rupnik, is outrageously insulting to mature lay people - especially parents and grandparents. How can we be expected to trust our bishops?
Proceeding with the conclave without FULLY investigating whether Pope Francis covered for sexual criminals would constitute the worst sort of clericalism and disrespect toward moms, dads, and their kids.
Before Almighty God, are you not responsible for the credibility of the papacy?

Joe Tevington is a proudly orthodox Catholic, a husband since 1986, a dad to two adult children, a grandpa to two, and a civil service retiree. He is a sign language fluent certified rehabilitation counselor with graduate degrees in deafness rehabilitation, religious studies/moral theology, & Christian counseling psychology, as well as a catechetical diploma and certificates in benefits planning and Catholic social ministry. He deeply appreciates Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the transmission of human life, as well as how they are to inform us in our apostolates and ministries.
On much lighter notes, he fancies himself to be the foremost authority on his native Brooklyn, when it comes to architecture, cinema, geography, history, Italian food, stick ball, stoop ball, or wiffle ball.
