Hello Peter, You've written an excellent reply to Emilio and others like him who have been angered by the Vatican.
While I agree with your reasoning and sentiments, still, I have difficulty in understanding the human and divine processes at work at the Vatican. It is my opinion that as a human [imperfect]institution the Vatican, too, perpetuates some structures of sinfulness! Consequently, the faithful have many a reason to be angry with those structures and the Popes responsible for perpetuating them and have a right to express their rightful sentiments. May God's Holy Spirit, who transcends religions and religious affiliations, bestow upon us Her Light and Strength "where giving is infinite and forgiving is infinite."
