re: "Benedict Faulted for Handling of Abuse Cases When He Was an Archbishop" (The New York Times, January 20, 2022)
The joy of religious devotion vesting itself in esoteric faith rather than open, honest reason.
And that proclaiming itself unquestionably infallible, wards of inconvenient questions so as to enable centuries of abuse by a morally repugnant hierarchy got up in gaudy robes of opaquest impunity.
It is little wonder that he Christian and other sacred ideologies side with Communist China and like despotisms in rejecting outright the secular democratic virtue of free speech that heralds openness, transparency, and accountability.
