Secular Sunday – Cardinal Marc Ouelette Resigns Amidst Misconduct Allegations

If you pay attention, you’ll see that though I aim for daily posts on this blog, I often don’t do them until the following day for one reason or another (get busy with the kids or fall asleep early or just forget or whatever.)

Two ways to know it’s a backdated post are if the time stamp shows anything between 23:00-24:00hrs which is the time I always use when backdating for some reason.  My posts also get syndicated to Twitter immediately so that’s another clue – this one will show up on Monday morning for instance.

So anyhow, this is technically a “Secular Sunday” post but I woke up on Monday to something the 24-hour news channel tells me is pretty serious breaking news – Quebec Cardinal Marc Ouelette has resigned after multiple misconduct allegations.

I know this is a standalone issue but given the church’s role in homophobia and attacks on libraries offering drag queen storytimes (aside: proud to say my branch offered the first ever drag queen storytime held at RPL – all credit to my programmer at the time who brought the idea to fruition and managers/program leads who didn’t blink an eye when we put it forward), I’m reminded of the various memes about who is the real danger in society…
