Amen brother! Very timely.Today in Reading P.A. grand jury report came out naming 300 priests and the coverup by cardinals that goes all the way to the vatican. As a former altar boy, I can assure you that had these priest been stealing the bingo money their superiors won’ t have moved them from parish to parish.
