Well, we're seeing further evidence that the rot goes right to the top. So, from now on, whenever a Catholic Church leader has the audacity to attack or criticize the LGBT community, there's a simple response: STFU. Seriously, just STFU and clean up your own corrupt, rotten, child-rape enabling institution.
