It seems that my post with the picture of Jesuit Anthony Spadaro and the Filipino Cardinal Tagle has elicited some criticism. Some of my readers have been offended, that I provoked ridicule upon these men and that it was uncharitable and elicited uncharitable comments.
Far be it from me to deny any priest a drink of Stolichnaya or Bailey's or Grande Marnier. Heck, one was over for dinner on Tuesday night, and he enjoyed some Rose in the gardent before dinner with Fox and I and then a nice bottle of Monasterio with the barbecued lamb.
But when one considers the volume on that bar, the picture over it, the suffering of Catholics in the Middle East and the distress at the state of the crisis which we have found ourselves in due to these men, I have a hard time showing any sympathy to these two.
Cocaine parties.
Homosexual orgies.
Appointing of pro-abortionists to commissions.
Here we have a priest and cardinal, both confidants of the Bishop of Rome appearing in a photo showing complete disregard for the state of the world but rejoicing in the lap of luxury.
The scandal is caused by those who scandalise, not by those who report it.
