An idiot deacon \u00e2\u20ac\u201c listed among the Permanent Deacons of St. Rose of Lima Church<\/a> in Eddystone in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia \u00e2\u20ac\u201c put on a dog mask with vestments at the ambo.<\/p>\n

Oaf For A Day!<\/p>\n

No, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not cute or clever.\u00c2\u00a0 No, the Eagles game is no excuse.<\/p>\n

This is stupid and this is sacrilege.<\/p>\n

The culpability of sin can be diminished due to ignorance.\u00c2\u00a0 However, deacons\u00c2\u00a0ought<\/em> to know better.\u00c2\u00a0 Alas, some permanent deacon formation programs<\/em> have in the past not been very good, to put it mildly.\u00c2\u00a0 Good men with good intentions were cheated of even barely adequate formation.<\/p>\n

At the same time, there is the pastor of the parish who must be held to account.\u00c2\u00a0 If he signed on on this, he, too, is guilty of sacrilege.<\/p>\n

The fact is: When you are a cleric, it is difficult to claim ignorance.\u00c2\u00a0 There is such a thing as culpable<\/em> ignorance.<\/p>\n

There is also such a thing as\u00c2\u00a0invincible<\/em> ignorance.<\/p>\n

At that point, one must wonder how the program of formation as well as those who approved them for ordination.\u00c2\u00a0 One must wonder about their supervision, at the level of the pastor and above.<\/p>\n
