Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk of Cincinnati has returned to ministry a priest convicted last year of public indecency. He called for forgiveness and chastity. Diogenes notes that “For a Christian, forgiveness is something the injured party freely offers the man who inflicts the injury, not an obligation the injurer exacts from the man he injured.”
Bishops who have in the past and currently make it easy for perverts in collars to have access to our children should not be lecturing us on forgiveness and healing, but should in fact be asking for it for themselves.
