Not an idiot, probably a Head Chef troll like
@Hoping here. Predictably, Catholics get butt-hurt, which opens up the floodgates of reminding the Church of all the child raping felons who infiltrated her pastoral ranks for decades on end, plus the also predictable fumbling of all the non-child-rapist bishops who just weren't prepared for dealing with such rank violent crime.
It turned out to really tarnish the Church, and all it took was a little bait, setting a trap, and Bishop Barron happens to be the "tomato can" or patsy in this case. It blew up in the Church's face.
It was a troll masterpiece. And once again, as forever, the Church will learn from it and carry on.
