At this moment I would be revising my opinion of Archbishop Peña Parra if I could remember what that opinion was (perhaps a general "what is he smoking" would loosely cover the occasion.)

It is a bit of a mind-bender to realize that there are people, at all levels of all societies and organization, who think we should not be unduly harsh to those who have sexually abused children. Where "unduly harsh" is sometimes "doing anything unpleasant whatsoever".

But there was the particularly egregious example earlier this year, which the news media treated as a story of how a 9-year-old had to cross state lines to get an abortion, and whose mother defended the abuser through the allegations, the confession, the DNA evidence, and the conviction.

Satan is active in the world, and his smoke has entered the Church, making people stupid, evil, and both.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio.
