A number of US Catholic archdioceses and dioceses have announced the closure or consolidation of many of their parishes owing to a shortage of priests whose median age is over 70.
Gene Gomulka hits it out f the park! The graying and gating of todays Catholic clergy sustains the reality that millions of Catholics have already left the Catholic Church because they long ago realized our far too many of our current RC bishops and priests are sex abusers or accept sexual abuse by other clergy. Since when did homosexual predation become part of some accepted way of living out one’s vocation of priesthood? Gene Gomulka shows the laity already know that modern priesthood is the perfect job for closeted predatory homosexual men. How does this reflect Christ?
If to where seemingly this pontificate is moving the Church towards, will she still be recognizable as the Body of Christ, as in the way Jesus’ body was subjected to so much horrendous abuse, not to mention the emotional and psychological abuses inflicted on Him?
This article is like a report of an investigation more than an essay. This makes it very credible. Excellent!
It has defined the “core” problem of the Church, that is the source of the others. The solution is embedded in the article, however given not as solutions but to explain the situation.
The current situation as articulated in this article is like a ship that has left the port already. Correcting the trajectory of its destination will take a radical solution. The implied solution of this pontificate is not the right one in my opinion. It will make the problem
worse by making it become openly acceptable. It seems to be the direction.
It will take a dispassionate attitude of a surgeon who is not be terrified to see exposed organs and oozing blood. This needs great courage and grace of God to overhaul the situation with consideration to the history of the Church. Could it be the only solution is the second coming of Jesus?
The article is a very shortened version of a multi-footnoted report which you can access at www.gomulka.net/Seminaries.pdf The seminary report contains a lot of data also found in www.gomulka.net/State.pdf You will find this research similar to that of the late Richard Sipe who was my neighbor in La Jolla when I lived in Coronado, CA. The recent nomination of Timothy Radcliffe to the College of Cardinals supports much of what you will find in these two documents.
Both Strickland and Vigano are straight and are very unwelcomed by the gay mafia in control of the hierarchy. Just as Francis got rid of Strickland and Vigano, homosexual Cardinal O'Brien likewise got rid of straight Dominican Father Tom Doyle and myself in 2004.
You should know this better than me about the lives of many saints. They had been put through difficulties even death by the governing authorizes of the Church; beginning with Christ himself by the Sanhedrin.
All of you and the rest you specifically mentioned are really in good company, except the world don’t see it that way. or that is how the authorities and the world want you and the rest of you to be seen that way. It must be hard. but if this is the proof you have to give of your love of God and obedience to the greatest commandment. I think you should be happy that God has made you an example of those whom He loves, even with His very own Son!
I was fortunate to move on with my life like Father Mark White is doing after having authored, “Ordained by a Predator.” Knestout who partied with McCarrick and Michael Bransfield at McCarrick’s beach house got rid of Mark after he wrote about McCarrick, Wuerl, and even Francis on his blog.
The whole goal is to get to heaven. I think that is more likely to happen in the single life than the religious life atm. Especially for women. Rupnik made a 1000 mini me's and they have done unspeakable damage with remote neurological monitoring.

May I ask a question? No worries. I do not wish to be intrusivd to your private communications. If only available to the public.
Have you received any communication from the hierarchy over this information being seen in Substack and/or shared online? And you beings priest?
Reading this article, the thought of Archbishop Vigano and Bishop Strickland comes to mind. The reason why I am interested to know.
Both Strickland and Vigano are straight and are very unwelcomed by the gay mafia in control of the hierarchy. Just as Francis got rid of Strickland and Vigano, homosexual Cardinal O'Brien likewise got rid of straight Dominican Father Tom Doyle and myself in 2004.

It disturbing to know what really is happening in the Church. That what is in the world is getting into the Church. It should be the other way around.
The whole goal is to get to heaven. I think that is more likely to happen in the single life than the religious life atm. Especially for women. Rupnik made a 1000 mini me's and they have done unspeakable damage with remote neurological monitoring.
