By Felix Miller, Catholic Vote - The Chicago Sun-Times has published an article arguing that a Vatican document released in February prohibiting dioceses from publicly listing the names of priests credibly accused of abuse but not yet been found guilty or innocent could lead to “a new era of secrecy over child sex abuse.”... The Aug. 1 article by Robert Herguth focuses on the status of such lists in dioceses in Illinois and nearby states... “As part of their stated commitment to transparency and healing over the decades-long clergy sex abuse crisis, all six Catholic dioceses in Illinois post public listings online that name clergy members deemed to have been credibly accused of molesting children,” the Sun-Times reported.

By John Zmirak, The Stream - If you have a worldview that’s 1) internally incoherent, 2) hysterically moralistic, and 3) grounded in nothing but the current group preferences of the powerful, what can you do to enforce it on the masses? You can’t convince them rationally, so that’s off the table. You can try gaslighting them and manipulating their sentiments.
