Don't be fooled by this ploy. Listen to the two Catholic scholars who say this is highly unusual. Priests steeped in God's love are not moved by rumors and gossip. They know even parishioners can sin. The opposition has been respectful in the form of a petition. These rumors have not been proven to rise to the level of calumnious inciting of hatred of priests, the faith, and Morlino. It says they may rise to this level. Here is your clue for the infamous 'hate speech.' A true Christian rejoices in the persecution of their faith - see the beatitudes - even though they suffer as our Lord did. "The congregation has been roiled by opposition." Liberals are famous for applying labels to roil citizens to their cause. The movement toward turbulence is not proven by actual facts that have taken place but only expressed through opinion from this source. If they are in financial straits, it is due to their own mismanagement. Money is not the source for growth to the Christian. True wisdom, justice and virtue would be good sources.
