And this is exactly why I strongly support all of my RC brethren, but without hesitation do not support the leaders in their church who have failed them.

Thanks for the ping and the pesonal support.

Aside from Cardinal Bevilacqua and perhaps a handful of bishops, all of the rest have not only failed us -- they have failed Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Maureen Dowd has repeatedly attacked the Catholic Church, so lets remember her point of view has its own agenda and carries with it her own baggage.

But she is spot on when she notes how disgusting and perverse it is that the Cardinals see gray regarding sexual abuse -- when the rest of the world can see it in black and white -- and Catholics like me are seeing RED.

Thank you for your unity at this time of strife. I know that Catholics and our non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters are united in our effort to expose the depravity of homosexuality and the lies of abortion, through love and prayer and truth. When we agree on so much, and work together to end the immoral acts of our generation sometimes our differences seem trivial.

God bless.
