I’m frequently grateful Robby George is present on social media. The place can give you whiplash. You could lose your soul there. He manages to bring a little bit of wisdom in the mess of it.

Like so:

As he pointed out in other tweets, this and this are fair overviews, one from an outlet people would consider more left, the other more right (which I don’t think does either complete justice, but such is life on earth).

I don’t know if what the archbishop wrote is true or not; I do know I want to know the truth. Shouldn’t that be our disposition, whatever our politics is? Give up all instincts to control the narrative and let’s just be honest. It’s the right thing to do and the only exercise that could provide anything like some semblance of healing and justice.

The mess of corruption and evil in the Catholic Church did not happen overnight. And it will not be cleaned up overnight. Faster, please, on one hand, but quit rushing to conclusions on another. If we were healthier about this, we would all want to know the truth. Instead people choose what they decide is true. Will we never learn? First we did this to politics and drove ourselves insane. Now the Church.
