What’s going on on this thread with the RC’s reactions is part of the problem within the Catholic church.
All the hand wringing on how the RCC is being *bashed* and those criticizing the situation have an agenda. Deflection all over the place and downplaying what this thread is all about.
How blinded can someone be to strain at a gnat (alleged Catholic *bashing) and swallow a camel (downplaying the abuse and mismanagement of it)?
From this morning's "Catholic Caucus" thread "Nothing Equipped Me To Deal With This" After Gomez Rebuke, Mahony Hits Back (Cath Caucus), we have Cardinal Roger Mahony whining writing that
Nothing in my own background or education equipped me to deal with this grave problemOh, really? There was nothing provided in your education, nothing found in your background that qualified you for second-highest postion in the Roman Catholic Church, nothing that you can think of that equipped you? Nothing at all?

Not downplaying anything at all. Just simply pointing out to the fact that child sex abuse took place not just among those WHO SHOULD NIOT had been RC priests to begin with, but also by others who WERE NEITHER ROMAN CATHOLIC or PRIESTS as well. This is an across-the-board-issue, PERIOD. Those who just focus on one group and one group alone are doing it for the reason of having an “agenda”.
I am NOW done with posting on this thread.
