Response to "Father Jenkins is a disgrace"

I am saddened by Law student Deion Kathawa’s letter published Nov. 12 in The Observer. Both his tone and his content suggest that his understanding of Catholic teaching is very limited. There is more to the Church than the Church Militant. Fr. Jenkins has withheld a decision to revoke former Cardinal McCarrick’s honorary degree until he is found guilty by a canonical court. That is his prerogative. He further cautioned about describing any sinner a monster. He avers that all matters of culpability are complex.
