I don’t think you’re dumb, I think you feel just like I do and you want to see some action. We’re like the kids in a family, “Dad, why isn’t so and so getting in trouble?!?!” It’s not just that we want him to have consequences, we want the satisfaction of seeing him punished with our own eyes.That’s very true. As I stated before, even a quick remark like, “We are addressing it,” or “We are aware of the situation” would be good enough for me.
You are correct when you say we have no idea if, how, when, they are addressing any issue. Other than that, they can tell all the questioners outside of the Faith to mind their own business.
Alan Keyes made a great point about this situation. He said that the Pope is a head of state, and that heads of state should not go around calling other heads of state evil (meaning Obama). He also said that the local Bishop addressed the problem and that is as it should be. I agree with that.
Again, the only thing I would want from the Vatican is maybe a word that explains that they are addressing it in this manner. They did say that it was a local issue, and in my denseness I am only now realizing that the statement was a way in explaining that the Bishop had it covered.
The Vatican could just be a little more clear about their official statements. There are dumb Catholics like me who need things explained more plainly.
