And of course I agree with you ... who wouldn't. In stating that Caffarra was intentionally malicious I'm reporting what I think or suspect. Like what Monica did when she said "I think some of the comments are intentionally malicious." And to which you replied "you're probably right." Please forgive my grammatical imprecision in not explicitly qualifying my statement with "I think" or that Caffarra's intention was "probably malicious."

I suppose if you grew up with your sexuality criminalized you might be more sensitive to the disgust I feel for the Caffarras who worked and are still working to keep homosexuality criminalized in much of the world. The Malawi Bishops ( a stone's throw from where I live) in their pastoral letter on the Year of Mercy of all things roundly chastized their government for imposing a moratorium on the criminalization of gay sex. Caffarra's rhetoric on homosexuality being the stuff of Satan is very much of the same ilk ... and seems intentionally malicious.
