I am sorry you’re experiencing this in your church. It wasn’t long ago that naming the abuse going on in the Catholic church made you “anti-catholic.”
Given the breadth and scope of this report from PA, why is it such a stretch to believe that our political leaders, Hollywood, and members of the media are embroiled in their own scandal of victimizing children? There are certainly all kinds of incriminating things coming to the surface. It’s wrong to label the investigation of these things a conspiracy theory. Do we really thing that the amoral leaders who celebrate killing children in the womb are not capable of what these priests have done and even worse? I think there’s a meme in this somewhere.
JMO....
Whenever and wherever there is money and power amassed, those who are evil will swoop in and take control. So if you have a lot of money or power you become a target.
Examples:
Catholic church
Any large church
US government
any government
Red Cross
any large charity
NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, Disney, .....
NYT, WaPo, ......
any large media outlet
GE, Nabisco, ....
any large company
... notice a pattern here?
I believe it of them. I just thought priests had more Fear of the Lord than the rest of us.
