re: #164 Daisy

“It’s as if the Church, by reinstating him, has given him a “license” to continue to espouse the very things that caused his excommunication to begin with.”

He wasn’t excommunicated for his Holocaust denial. He was excommunicated for joining a schismatic faction originally part of the Church. Had he been spewing Holocaust denial in his capacity as a Catholic priest, that would have been cause for excommunication. He’s no longer a functioning priest, was never a Bishop (acding to the RC Church) .. just an ordinary slob (with widespread appeal to European Jew haters) being, in my opinion, neutralized by his inclusion back in the fold, so to speak.

Daisy - I understand. The Pope is looking at him like he is an average Joe.

But the guy himself is continuing to present himself in public as if he were a bishop, and his words do have influence. That cannot be ignored, imo.

Again, how do we teach our young ones what is right and wrong, with this guy very publicly continuing to espouse everything that got him excommunicated with to begin with?
