Forget About Paul The Regular Guy
How about instead Paul the Prophetic Guy?
The Regular Guy himself recently stated in a ComBox, "I can only pray that the Holy Father will do something to inspire you to write 'Theology Unleashed'". In fact, he posted this just a few hours ago. And as I'm cruising around the various Catholic news portals I frequent, what headline do I stumble across?
Vatican Removes 2 Men Accused Of Sexual Abuse From Priesthood
CINCINNATI (AP) - The Vatican has removed from the Roman Catholic priesthood two men who served in southwest Ohio after considering evidence that they sexually abused children, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati said Thursday.
Kenneth Schoettmer and Richard Unwin have been permanently removed from the clerical state by Pope Benedict XVI.
Now this ain't exactly the extent of the punishments that this here Caveman would like to see. Personally, I'd like to see such things as Cardinal Law turned over to the Boston DA's Office; most "Catholic" universities in this country shut down until they start conducting themselves like Catholic universities; Cardinal Mahony reassigned to the moon, etc.
Yeah... that stuff I'd like to see. But as Lao-tzu said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".

This caveman would like to see the Vatican take St. Basil's advice on what to do with them. Something about prison and da whippin'. But hey it's a start...or am I being judgemental and a dissenter?
