I agree with your comments about Joe Pisani's attempts at "moralizing" society.
However, if he wants to write about the behavior of single divorced men and women, and label their behavior as "immoral" or "inappropriate," I suggest he tone down his broad judgmental opinions, and get specific.
Not every divorcee is hanging out in bars, preying on 20-somethings, or trying to find a rich spouse in local drinking establishments. Being divorced is no picnic.
I don't believe every marriage can be saved.
I think, sometimes, it is better to leave a marriage FOR the sake of the children. I understand the Catholic Church condemns divorce, but the Catholic Church is not always there to help when people need it most.
The people in your parish were very lucky to find such support.
I know friends who tried everything to save their marriage, but if one spouse isn't interested in saving it, it is over. It was at the suggestion of one priest, a friend leave her husband.
His behavior was drunk, abusive, and the children were watching a nightmare unfold before their eyes.
Was the wife out at local bars, competing with 20-somethings looking for rich men who managed Hedge funds? No, the wife was home, living a very lonely life, supporting the children single-handedly.
I think if Joe Pisani wants to address Catholic issues as a Catholic, he better be living a stellar Catholic life.
I'm sick of his "holier than thou" opinionated drivel.
His columns help no one, and often magnify problems rather than help correcting them.
Is Joe a perfect Catholic?
That is almost laughable.
In the case of his former newspaper, reporting about a couple of local priests stealing money and living immoral lifestyles, he started out stating the facts which needed to be made public.
But there was absolutely no need to zero in on these parishes and have their places of worship PAGE ONE for a year.
There is something called "too much information" and this is a perfect example.
Did we need to know every disgusting detail about these men abusing their vows, including sleeping arrangements? Was it necessary to put up a blog, where people could ruin more reputations simply by writing whatever they wanted to anonymously?
It doesn't surprise me one bit Joe Pisani has never apologized to anyone for his failures as an editor.
It takes humility, and Joe has none. He presents himself as though he knows the answers to everything, and the rest of us know nothing.
I doubt the words "I'm sorry" have ever been spoken by the man.
It is all about him, all the time.
How would I know?
Trust me, I KNOW.
Quite frankly, I'm tired of seeing his name in print.
If he fell off the face of the earth tomorrow, I doubt anyone would notice.
