That link is terrific,there are several blurbs that make incredible sense. One in particular by the someone in the Peoria Diocese that rings so true.

There is also a link to a letter from an anonymous sex abuser(one-time)priest that every single person who is angrily demanding "one time and you're out" should read.It explains a whole lot,not only about what the circumstances of the "abuse" were but especially about why some bishops may appear to cover for them.

From the beginning of this whole mess,I have tried to convey my thought that we who love the Church and see the teachings of Christ as the only hope for mankind,must be especially careful not to step into a nice big grave that the "enemy",temporal and spiritual, have dug out for just this purpose;that is,to bury us.

Sometimes,it seems to me,that only when I pray to the Holy Spirit for the grace to think with the mind of the Church,do I see things clearly and understand.

Where is the letter you mention? I went to NYer's link again, but the letter wasn't obviously listed.

Anyone hear Michael Rose on Howie Carr today? He had him on for two or three segments. I wasn't home for the whole thing, but I do have it on tape. I'll listen to the whole thing and see if it seems worth transcribing.
