The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith's current strategy of
censuring priests and religious it believes are out of step with church
teaching has been roundly criticized as "ridiculous and self-defeating"

Speaking for the first time publicly about his experience, Redemptorist Fr. Gerry Moloney warned that "imposing sanctions on people does not make them change their views."
