Modernist mentality is unable to think, to imagine a state normal and lawful throughout centuries. That to ensure the Church freedom, no matter what, regardless of venial and very grave indeed sins of the priests the Church should be exempt from jurisdiction of the State, in particular the modern, Behemoth-like State.
They will abandon the Church for the State and will be proud of it.
St. Thomas Becket, Holy Martyr, pray for us!
And the Behemoth State will walk its way together with the modernist Church of Religious Feelings. Step by step. From the Pride Month of the "predator priests" hunting to the state where people think the Seal of Confession - at the first step in some cases - is very naughty and unchristian or that proclamation of the new gospel of the Virus suspends most of the Sacraments. Here we are, going mindlessly into the dead end they designed for us.

The Church can't police itself .How many children must suffer because the leaders care only about paycheck.

The liberal/progressive wing of the Catholic Church, and neo-con "Church Militant" will make a big deal out of this, but they turn a blind eye to the rot and corruption of the Vatican II church.
