You know, I just reread this and all the comments.

I really am both amazed and shocked at the viciousness, hatred, and pure vitriol offered as "civil" comments.  If some of these comments were directed at anyone other than the Cardinal, they would never have passed peer review...and if one did slip through, it would have been flagged.

So many of the posters offering these "comments" claim to be followers of Francis - he who calls for a cessation of vitriol and mercy.  So many claim to be accepting of those who are different - but see nothing wrong with calling the Cardinal a "vicious queen" - if that remark were offered to one of the homosexual posters here, I can't imagine what would have happened.

The judgemental and hateful remarks here are embarrassing, yet those making them call themselves Christian.  Commenters feed off the hate of the previous remark, trying to outdo it with greater hatred.

Hope they're proud.  I am disgusted.
