Fr. Dan Reehil on Lindsay Clancy
The call is for priests across America to read out Fr. Dan Reehil's words, and the person sharing it adds a note about not being much of a Catholic while still backing every line. What Reehil lays out starts with Lindsay Clancy: the story, in his telling, defies comprehension. He says you will never find a scenario where a father kills his three kids, shows up in court, and hundreds of men turn out in his corner. That just isn't a thing that happens. Yet he claims there are women treating it as ordinary. From there he pushes the argument further, saying that standing behind this amounts to signing off on killing children once they're already born, and he calls that plain madness. He doesn't skip the drugs or the other circumstances, he says he gets all of it, but his position is that a grown woman had the option to get help. The whole thing, to him, is a catastrophe, and prayer is what he asks for her. He even says he thinks demons are at work on her. The supporters get the harshest treatment. Women backing her, he says, are mad, and that kind of madness is turning into the default in plenty of places. His advice to any man dating someone who sides with her is to cut it off and get away fast, because kids come later and she'll wave through something similar with them. He's not being loose with that either. He says it would be a real blocker to marriage for him.
