After a long night of confession and forgiveness I thought my wife and I could easily move on but the events that followed our reconciliation became almost unbearable. My infidelity and betrayal were inviting problems bigger than we could handle. I resigned my job and lost many chances of quality time with my wife and kids. After almost one and a half decades of exile, I saved my marriage and kept my family intact. When a Catholic priest does a merry-go-round the odds become different. Because he is a public figure his infidelity and betrayal, could wreak a faithful Parish especially if one or two of his kind would mount a cover-up story for a crime beyond the courts of man. Yet very much unlike the laity, a Catholic priest may opt for solutions. He could apply for a special compensation from Rome
But in the spirit of truth, forgiveness and reconciliation the best option for him would be to stay put and confess, accept any sanction, ask for re-assignment and cease being a pain in the ass forever. If the charges aren’t true, he may just have to continue his office and let God unburden his spirit.
For what have been said and printed, Minglanillians may need something enlightening and convincing to welcome the New Year not just lip service or recycled discourses. But everybody should exercise caution, not breed commotion.
It is unjust to punish someone for a crime already paid for. It is alright if he made a ditto. It was a false charge that brought Jesus to the Cross. Martyrs die because of false testimonies. Would you like to cast the first stone?
Minglanilla needs this prayer. Merry Christmas:

Dear God You are merciful and just and You don’t fail to punish the wicked and save the just. Please heal us of our doubts and anger. Console us to be always united to You, in Mary's care. Make our ministers obedient, trustworthy and loyal to their vows, especially caring for us in Jesus' name. Mother Mary Immaculate, pray for us. Amen.
