Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, aka Kissy-Face, published a book in 1995 called "Heal Me With Your Mouth: The Art Of Kissing", for which he is rightly derided. Now comes the news that several years later, in 1998, he published a far worse book called "The Mystical Passion". If it's not pornographic, I don't know what is. Complicit Clergy links to the book. Be warned, it is quite graphic. Think about that last statement. We're talking of the writings of a priest, not some seedy pervert in a slum. Well, come to think of it, maybe they're both correct (save for the "slum" descriptor.
Consider that he was already a priest when he penned that filth. He could only write it if it was in his mind. I don't know what's worse: its salacious statements or the blasphemous ones. Given the vetting that the Vatican does when it elevates people to trusted positions, they had to have known about both books. So Francis elevated Kissy despite his porn-dabbling? Is it "despite" or is it "because"?
On one hand, we have Bishop Strickland being given the heave-ho for allowing the Traditional Latin Mass to be offered in his diocese. Will Kissy-Face be let go, as well? For the benefit of the entire Church, not to mention his own soul, he should be dismissed from his post, if not the clerical state.
Now help me out with this matter of confusion. Kissy is Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith - or is that Dung Heap of Filth?
