Cardinal Rigali "heckled" at Vilanova University

Rigali hit with some hard-hitting questions at Villanova event

VILLANOVA -- Cardinal Justin Rigali spoke about matters related to the higher education of Catholics for 90 minutes, but when it came time for questions from the audience the topic quickly changed. "Where was your caring for human dignity this weekend?" asked Judy Gray of Lafayette Hill.

Gray and two others attended the cardinal’s speech at Villanova University to discuss the church’s reaction to a stinging grand jury report that accused Catholic leaders of protecting abusive priests and providing opportunities for further sexual attacks against young boys.

From what I could tell on the news clip I saw, Cardinal Rigali was, in a sense, "ambushed" by a few who were in attendance. Gray referred to "criminal cardinals" and called Cardinal Rigali a "phony".

Another story which may have prompted some of the outbursts dealt with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia removing two nursing-home chaplains who had "inappropriate" physical relationships with teenage boys.

We just need to remember (wink, wink), that homosexuality has nothing to do with it...Just ask Fr. Charles Bouchard, president of Aquinas Institute of Theology - the first of 229 seminaries nationwide to be evaluated over the next nine months in the Vatican investigation. He maintains

that what Aquinas tried to determine about its applicants was whether they have the capability to live a celibate life.

Whereas some Catholics believe that homosexuality should disqualify men from priesthood, Bouchard said, "We hope to provide evidence that that shouldn't be the case."

"Some" Catholics believe that homosexuality should disqualify men from priesthood, he says? If reports are correct, and the Holy Father states that this is to be the rule, will Bouchard still maintain that it's only "some" Catholics?
