Medieval, Right-Wing Catholicism at Its Best

There are a lot of kindhearted and welcoming Catholic officials out there-be they nuns, priests, bishops, honey jarring Trappist monks, whatever. Bishop Robert Morlino ain't one of them. You have to love this guy: pre-recorded  messages on gay marriage and abortion before election time, threats to censure church members using canonical law, firing feminist employees of the church, pissing off a good deal of his parishioners, and to cap it all off, ties to American trained Latin American military officials long thought to have been behind atrocities. This man is truly a humble, meek servant of God. His supporters secretly exclaim, "Thank God, the church isn't supposed to be a democracy after all!"

I thank National Catholic Reporter for this article:
