\"\"<\/a>By Paul Kokoski<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2005 Pope Benedict XVI issued a resounding call for reform in the church, saying, \u201cHow much filth there is in the church … even among those … in the priesthood.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sex abuse scandal involving priests is just the tip of the iceberg. The real culprits of moral decay are the post-Vatican II\u00a0 modernists like Hans Kung, who brought sexual deviants into the church and who continue to disseminate\u00a0 their \u201cnew morality\u201d within our\u00a0 various seminaries, schools and chancery offices.<\/p>\n

Apart from the sex abuse scandal\u00a0 our bishops continue to defy Pope Benedict XVI on liturgical matters and on matters regarding our Catholic politicians, who are allowed to openly promote and advance the moral evils of divorce, contraception\u00a0 and murder, via abortion and embryonic stem cell research. Instead of disciplining these moral criminals they are instead given places of high honor at Masses and invited\u00a0 to receive unworthily the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.<\/p>\n

Purifying the church of sex abusers will not bring the church out of its present crisis of faith. What is needed is a deeper and more complete overhaul of the filth that continues to infect our church via modernist priests, theologians and lay members, who apart from our beloved Pope, militantly spread their poison each and everyday in various Catholic institutions.<\/p>\n

The pope has now closed the door on sex abusers and homosexuals. Let us hope that he continues this purification by sweeping out all those who are responsible for the present crisis.<\/p>\n

With respectful and cordial best wishes I remain,<\/p>\n

Sincerely yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Paul Kokoski In 2005 Pope Benedict XVI issued a resounding call for reform in the church, saying, \u201cHow much filth there is in the church … even among those … in the priesthood.\u201d The sex abuse scandal involving priests…","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":8279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-letters-to-the-editor"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWe need to rid the Catholic Church from the culprits -
