MGB: Bishops believe in collegiality before all. As long as they are self-appointing change will not happen to them and it may not happen at all if the local bishop can't be bothered, thinking his priests would never do that and that no public amends was needed if an alternate penance was available. Indulgences take care of the rest, in the view of the Anachronists. This is cheap grace. Maybe McCarrick had earned one, allowing Benedict to greet him warmly.
I suspect most are dead and retired. Unless you are willing to drop Medievalism in the Church, there is no point in rehashing past offences unless you are a money hungry lawyer or ambitious politician.
The answer to NFL protesting is to play Lift Every Voice after the Anthem. It will make the racists, even the casual ones, very uncomfortable for what it signifies, which is that the struggle is not in just the past.
Falwell's comments simply prove that he is more Republican than Christian, as are many of his sect. He is seeking honors in this world, not the next.
Trunp does not realize that his support brings out only his people. His endorses support him, not the GOP. Those left out will either stay home in November or vote for the Democrat. I would say "don't tell him" but if you did, he would call you a liar anyway.
Sadly, any country on any continent without a strong middle class is easy to exploit. Simply buy off the leaders and the peasants are yours to abuse.
