"Something is rotten in the state of the CDF" Moloney

Fr Gerard Moloney is giving a talk tomorrow at 14.00 at the Jesuit-run Milltown Institute.

Gerard, a Redemptorist priest, and former editor of the magazine 'Reality' wrote recently on the ACP website of the appalling experience he suffered at the hands of the  Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).

"How can you defend yourself if you don’t know you are on trial? How can you defend yourself if you don’t know who your accusers are? How can you defend yourself when your fate has been decided even before you discover you have been on trial? It is an utterly unjust and unchristian system.

Something is rotten in the state of the CDF, and while the current people and processes remain in place, nothing will change. Priests, sisters and brothers will continue to be treated as less than human, and will have their lives hurt or broken.

... injustice has a price, and I am paying it every day."

On this reading the CDF have been operating "ultra vires" for decades.
