I've been in religious life, and I know how they operate. I've seen their motives from the inside, and I thought nothing could stun me at this point. But this is so utterly beyond wicked I can hardly think straight. It violates the bedrock theology of Catholicism, the gospel, the Evangelical Counsels, and the three vows.

They've sold the very foundations of Catholic spirituality. They've coldly chosen a victim: the chaste, same sex-oriented priest or nun, and to hell with justice. And the message that it sends to the ignorant, the bigoted, the foolish... it's incendiary. It's monstrous.

Words fail. I can't order my thoughts. When Ratzinger was elected my heart died within me, but I never thought they'd stoop to this.
