While Donahue does a good job legitimately speaking out against true anti-Catholicism, he merely asked folks to "pray" for McCarrick, a personal friend. Uh-huh. His manner resembles that of lawyers defending Mafia figures, over the top. See Tom Hagen in Godfather II. BTW, former Gov. Frank Keating compared the bishops and their operations to "La Cosa Nostra." He chaired lay review board in early 2000s, until he resigned in frustration over lack of cooperation from bishops. Some of the "faithful" will become the "faithful departed" before long.

So what? If they merely "identify" and don't believe or live it, it is utterly meaningless. If it is just shallow and cultural, it is useless. People identify as other genders when in physical reality, they are male or female. I may eat ants and call myself an ardvaark, or put antlers on my head and call myself an elk. I am still a human. What people CHOOSE to call themselves does nothing for the reality of what they are. I may identify as a Christian, but it could be entirely cultural. I may not go to Sunday services, read the Bible, or know anything about the faith.

If a faithful catholic can be so easily led away, they weren't that faithful. The shepherds are to blame for neglecting the sheep, and the sheep are to be blamed for not educating themselves. At the very least, they keep Christianity. I must say, I get annoyed when people accuse others of sheepstealing. The protestants have made inroads into So. America because of the neglect of Catholic leaders. Thank God at least they are still Christian.
