one question


I wish we all could take a turn asking one question for each of those in the world who seem to make decisions and set priorities that affect all of us in the world. How nice it would be to get clarification on the truth instead of settling for the propaganda usually delivered. Imagine asking a question and the only way out of the interview is to answer it honestly!
Your Holiness, why is it that you can mobilize your Bishops to fight with great vigor those in your parishes who feel God would be in favor of same-sex marriage. Why is it you can immediately order your holy soldiers to combat same-sex adoptions. Why is it you can recite Chapter and Verse stating God’s unhappiness with men loving men and women loving women in matters of seconds even milliseconds. Why is it when it comes to anyone but you and your own responsibilities toward Catholic Church work you are ready on the draw. Why is it so easy for you to identify sin and demean it as a work of evil when love is involved WHEN it takes you so long to stop the hate of pedophilia and the pedophiles on your pay roll? WHEN you easily set up diversions from the truth, roadblocks for justice, excuses for behavior WHEN the buck stops at your own throne, why is it so difficult to do God’s work? Why do you tell your sheep that you see the light, except of course when the light shines on your own lack of compassion or true reason? Why does your vision wane WHEN it comes to facing the truth about both your own actions and inactions?
And to the Catholics in America why is it so easy to cow tow to the Pope and his misconceptions of God’s will when it comes to people in love. You ignore, look the other way, make excuses for saying very little to nothing when the members of the Pope’s church express and practice hate and discrimination. Why is it men wanting to marry men, women wanting to adopt a family with two loving mothers seems so villainous that you vehemently shout out the sin, the sinner as if God was whispering in your ear. But WHEN those who swear allegiance to Christ and his teachings savagely prey on youth, sinfully abuse the soul of the youth, act as predators to the young men and women you can not raise one finger or one decibel of your voice to say STOP! Somehow God is not whispering in your ear to stop this abuse because the abuse is permitted by the Vatican. 
Why do you find it so easy to pick and choose Gods words when they snuggly fit your own UnCatholic bigotry but when are words of inclusion you ignore them? Why are all the lessons and legacy you say Christ left to you so laced in homophobia but you deny all of that and say it is just religious dogma that makes you behave badly? Where is your responsibility to ask the Pope to stop the denials of pedophilia and stop the promotion of hate toward people who love? Why is the hue and cry for the Pope to act more Catholic as a representative of Jesus? Why is hate for those who love phrased as something bad, while the hateful acts by the Catholic Clergy toward youth overlooked or ignored and deemed as good?
One question please, to the Pope and those Catholics who call him Papa... when did hypocrisy replace reason...when did selfishness replace selflessness... when did God’s love become replaced with meaningless human hatred.and why oh why do you permit this happen?
