Fr Brundage sets out to do the following:
- To tell the back-story of what actually happened in the Father Murphy case on the local level;
- To outline the sloppy and inaccurate reporting on the Father Murphy case by the New York Times and other media outlets;
- To assert that Pope Benedict XVI has done more than any other pope or bishop in history to rid the Catholic Church of the scourge of child sexual abuse and provide for those who have been injured;
- To set the record straight with regards to the efforts made by the church to heal the wounds caused by clergy sexual misconduct. The Catholic Church is probably the safest place for children at this point in history.
I put in a graphic in showing fish being wrapped in newspaper. However, along with Fr Z, who comments also on a disgraceful article in the National Catholic Reporter, I think this jibe is now becoming an insult to the poor inoffensive fish.

The decision of Pope Benedict XVI to reintroduce the Tridentine liturgy by making it more accessible to all Catholics is one reason for the attacks on his Papacy. The decision to go ahead with the process of canonization for Pope Pius XII seems to have been the final act that unleashed the full fledged war against his Papacy and person.
In this week's liturgy, we hear the reaction after Lazarus is raised from the dead. I think they will bring this Pope all the way to Calvary.
Domine, Quo Vadis?
In these financially troubled times, I think they are greedy for the church's wealth and "vast real-estate property". The call for taxing the church grows louder every day.
Thank you for this vital list, Father; I've tweeted the address so that more people can read your post and follow the list.
Thanks for the links that you are providing. They're very useful.
