Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Illinois imposes his moral judgment on Democratic politicians and on LGBTIQA couples who are Catholic. Yet, he covered up pedophile priests, protecting them and putting the children in his diocese at risk. He equated the lawsuits by survivors of sex abuse to attacks on the church that are the work of the devil. Yes, the people the priests raped and abused are the ones working for the devil, not the rapist child-molesting priests. The Anderson Report revealed that Fr. Joseph Fitzharris told Paprocki he raped at least nine boys, Paprocki did not report it to police.
