'and that it's offensive to God if they deliberately choose to ignore him!'  

This is precisely the kind of theology that makes younger generations leave.  What kind of tin pot God is 'offended' by a particular individual's missing Sunday Mass?  In the rest of this missive he minimizes the culpability of failed leadership which I guess goes right along with his idea that God can be offended by an individual human.  Authoritarians can be offended, but never held accountable.
