Some argue that sexual abuse in the church grows out of fundamental flaws in Catholicism. "The division of body and soul is a mistaken model," said Eugene Kennedy, a psychologist and former priest, who wrote, "The Unhealed Wound: The Church and Human Sexuality."Mr. Kennedy added: "The Church uses sexuality to control people in a punitive atmosphere. If flesh is evil, you cannot teach celibacy in a healthy way."
Sorry Mr. Kennedy, but I'll defer to people like Father Groeschel. There are plenty of priests, nuns and laity who are living contradictions to his opinion. Sounds like Eugene has some personal issues.
This is not a vain hope of mine, but I am praying that the Holy Father will name Fr Benedict Groeschel as Archbishop of Boston (and then Cardinal). He is the only one I know who could clean things in Boston up and sustain the faithful in their time of crisis.
