Maybe the most scandalous thing is that the entire congregation didn’t stand up and walk out on such a sacrilegious “homily.” The sooner we acknowledge that many (most?) Catholics don’t believe the Catholic faith, the better off we will be. And maybe we already do this, and I’m honestly not sure how it would affect the Church’s ministry/governance. For a start, I think any priest who openly flaunts the Church’s teaching should have faculties (all faculties) removed until he repents in sackcloth. This means some parishes would have no priest, which many would blame their bishop for, but in reality it would be the fault of the priest for his lack of faith and/or poor formation.

There are still many faithful Catholics (and priests) in our country, thanks be to God.

One thing I’ve noticed recently:

People are going to point out the hypocrisy of allowing this versus the marginalization of traditional Catholics. (E.g. “WHILE THE E.F. IS MARGINALIZED THE POPE LETS THIS HAPPEN GOD FORBID A REVERENT LITURGY IS ALLOWED ETC ETC ETC”) Yes, I agree. People need to realize that this is not an effective response! We can point this out all day, but it absolutely won’t change the situation.

It’s the exact same situation as: Radical leftists, when confronted with the hypocrisy of the disappearance of women’s sports through the inevitable dominance of them by males pretending to be females, absolutely [do] [not] [care]. We need to get more creative. We can’t point out hypocrisy AND assume that those we express the opinion to are concerned about hypocrisy. They aren’t.
