I am stunned at your ability and courage to expose all this for us to read. As an orthodox Anglican journalist I have watched as the Episcopal Church and most of the western Anglican churches have not only allowed homosexuality to run rife but have now blessed it, ordained these people, and believe God has changed His mind. As a result episcopal churches are emptying faster than seals fleeing whales. I fear the Last Judgement when we will all have to give an account of our lives.
Bob, The problem is that most Catholics don’t want to acknowledge the high percentage of gay clergy or the ongoing sexual abuse and cover-ups in the Church. The Catholic and mainstream media are hiding both of these problems.
The persecution of Catholicism from within has finally exceeded the hatred for it from without. We are beset on all sides while we are repeatedly scandalized by homo-heresiarchs who pass for our clergy.
Seems like the integrity of the Catholic Church is done for. I remember my godmother Shey (RIP) explaining that priests do not have to be morally pure in order to consecrate the Eucharist but she also dedicated the later years of her life as a lay nun to pray for a holy priesthood. This was when the sex-abuse cases of catholic clergy were becoming mainstream news and she expressed some doubt about the veracity of all those cases - a valid point but it certainly does not explain away the phenomenon. It really seems now to me and others that the celibacy rule has become self-selecting for homosexual clergy with keeping it all "in-house" as it were preventing reports of scandal from surfacing so much, and of course now with appointments of the current and last popes openly promoting the LGBTQ+ agenda I suppose they believe the whole specter of scandal can be eradicated by doctrinal acceptance.
This is being coupled with the promotion of immigration by the Church to try to recapture the slumping donations from the dismayed and disapproving formerly faithful especially with the loss of USAID funds to back up church operations. For myself, I have decided to quit donating to the church for the most part. Last night at mass, the prayers of the faithful included a long, laborious browbeating for the congregation on behalf of refugees. It was by far the longest petition amongst those prayers. If the bishops think they can browbeat the faithful into making up the loss of USAID funds which I understand were also being directed toward making up losses due to clergy abuse cases behind the scenes, they've got another thing coming from at least some of us.
That’s one of many things I don’t miss for sure at the Novus Ordo Mass, the “prayers of the faithful” I found were always political if you paid attention but most didn’t. We Only attend the TLM at a chapel now where none of that nonsense exists. Deo Gratis!
Here in Denver we are holding our breath awaiting the replacement of Archbishop Aquila, who turned 75 in September. Compared to so many dioceses, we have had three bishops, better than most, since the mid 1980s. I fear our luck will soon come to an end.
The goal is to create a one-world-pagan religion and to eject Jesus from the church He established. Good luck with that. Enough will soon be enough. When they destroy the liturgy for the consecration of the host and wine (and they will do that soon), expect a strong reaction from God.
You will probably enjoy the previous Archbishop of Canterbury trying in 2024 to answer the question "Is gay sex sinful?" I am sure that our bishops, cardinals, etc would similarly waffle.
It now appears to be a requirement for high office in the Church to be intrinsically disordered and conflicted. So it is only right to ask the question who is covering up for who and at what cost.
Wonderful article. The theme has true value. When the majority are in sin and the wrong, the blackmailing can act in reverse, meaning if you do not comply and join or at least turn blind eye, you will not succeed and never be promoted. Fr. Adam Park, after Anthony Gorgia heroically complained of is solicitation of seminarians in the NAC was tossed out. He did his down time in the Archdioceses of DC, under the protection of homosexual bishop/cardinal and then has been moved back to Rome to be fast tracked to be a bishop. So his penalty was he was protected and promoted. Priest like Fr. Paul Kalchik who did what was morally, theologically and reasonably correct, in addressing homosexual activity in the Church was ostracized. A man and priest with true love for God, the priesthood and his flock was denied his flock. he blackmail is going both ways. The quickest way to end this sinful insanity is to stop giving the bishops money and demanding an forensic accounting and hat we have moral bishops. The way to fight worldly men is of course, prayer, fasting and adherence To God's Will but also take away from them their worldly tools, which is money. Better the money be spent feeding the hungry, housing the homeless and teaching the true faith. Let us be bold and ask these bishops how they are saving the souls of their flocks! If they do not save souls they fail. All else is secondary at best. Pray for the good priests and pray God in His infinite Divine Mercy sends us good priests and bishops.
Thanks very much, Father Gene. Blackmailable clergy? When you look at the almighty double fiasco in Plymouth diocese in 2024.... Was it blackmail?
The chair of Plymouth had been empty since mid 2022 when Bishop Mark O'Toole departed to be Bishop of Cardiff AND Menevia dioceses (ie the entire southern half of Wales). These dioceses are now merged. First we had priests running two or three parishes. Now it is getting to the stage where a Bishop will probably have 2 or 3 dioceses.
Come 2024 and Father Chris Whitehead was moving from the ancient spa town of Bath to be the new Bishop of Plymouth. I am sure there was much rejoicing. Plus the issuing of many invitations to all the great and the good of all religions, the Mayor, Lord Lieutenant, Member of Parliament, etc for his ordination in late February.
Come early February and his ordination was cancelled pending some sort of investigation into something or other (never explained). I heard that people in the Vatican were furious.
And Father Chris' Bishop Declan Lang retired very soon after, allegedly because something concerning Fr Chris had not been recorded on his personnel file. Father Chris finally returned to his old parish in Bath. OK to be parish priest in a major parish, but not a Bishop?
Come 9th November 2024 and Plymouth was ready for the installation of Bishop Philip Moger, moved from being auxiliary Bishop in Southwark. Sadly:
"On 6 November, however, Moger issued an apology stating he intended to postpone his installation until termination of the investigation of personal issued raised. Mentions of due process in his statement raised the question of if Moger was subject to a canonical inquiry."
Wiki explains:
"Although he never took possession of the See of Plymouth, he is listed by the Vatican as Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese"
Come 29th Nov 2025 and Plymouth finally got Bishop Nicholas Hudson. Judging by the numbers they invited, their postage bill for all three attempts must have been eyewatering.

thank you gene thomas gomulka, for your hard work; it is so important. may you have a most holy and peaceful christmas.

Sounds like a typical NO parish.
You are spot on
Amen !

JMJ, please help Denver avoid a 'lavender-"SIN-odor"-Pacamama-loving-demonic" Archbishop.

Why was Fr. Prevost sent to Peru? Was there a priest surplus in Chicago?
I’m grateful for Msgr Gomulka’s courage in exposing this.
Popes and politicians are installed by the same globalist goons.
Communists
If I could ask one single question of every priest, Bishop, Cardinal, Pope, it would be, our homosexual ex mortal sins. Yes, or no only.
KS,

The questioner is Alastair Campbell, who used to be ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair's hatchetman. He must have mellowed since the old days.
We continue to apply bandaids to festering wounds and the number of absent Catholics grows.
The Lord knows all and sees all. Hopefully priests, bishops, and Robert Prevost will repent.
It now appears to be a requirement for high office in the Church to be intrinsically disordered and conflicted. So it is only right to ask the question who is covering up for who and at what cost.

But blackmail is probably even dearer, as the embezzling Archbishop Weakland in Milwaukee found when paying off his ex boyfriend.
