Dirty Birds at the Vatican: They Give Cardinals a Bad Name

Trio of Church scoundrels -- great friends of the Francis!

Sadly, many sayings from the past have disappeared from common usage. And yet so many express the truth in graphic ways. "One bad apple can spoil the whole barrel." sent a clear message that spending time with a "bad apple" was likely to result in rotten behavior rubbing off. Not that a "bad apple" can't change, but, until he does, the safest strategy to avoid rottenness is to keep your distance.

My mom also used to say, "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are." and "Birds of a feather flock together." I thought of that today when I read this post from OnePeterFive about the new honor for another gay-advancing cardinal, Kevin Farrell, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life in Rome.

Excuse My Bluntness, but Some Clerics are Idiots! Take Cardinal Farrell, for example!

Is this really Kevin Farrell in disguise?

The Catholic Church has some serious problems. Certainly, the sex abuse crisis magnified by the bishops' cover-up crisis is at the top of the list. But we also have a major idiocy problem in the hierarchy!

I came across proof while reading interview comments from Cardinal Kevin Farrell who heads the Vatican Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life. Note well...This is the same Kevin Farrell who was good buddies with Cardinal McCarrick, who worked under McCarrick, whose career was advanced by McCarrick, who was ordained a bishop by McCarrick, who shared an apartment with McCarrick... who now claims he knew nothing about McCarrick's pederasty and sex abuse.
