[Desdemona]

Perhaps it is WE who should be telling you and YOUR ilk that YOU have nothing to add, nor any right to add it; since you allow these Perverts to permeate YOUR beloved Church...and thereby damage the very fabric of community and society!

We allow nothing of the sort. WE do not choose the leaders. We can ask, request and pray, but there is no popular vote. These scandals hurt us far worse than they do any of you. And leaving rather than staying to fight the darkness accomplishes nothing.

Those who attack the church generally have an ax to grind which has nothing to with the faith as most who do attack it cannot even explain why they are doing so. It always seems to me that it really has more to do with envy and resentment.

And Campion expressed some of the frustration we all feel when people who have abandoned the faith attack it.

To paraphrase Ronaldus Magnus...
"I didn't leave the Catholic Church, It left ME!"

Homosexual priests ALLOWED...Vatican II...pedophiles moved from parish to parish to inflict MORE misery and trauma on INNOCENT children, without parishoners aware of what they are harboring...The Lavender Mafia in virtual control of the RCC...

And you have the GAUL to reply...

Are you REALLY staying and fightig as long as you keep stuffing money in the coffers? As long as you keep up such drivel as "It's only a small fraction of Priests who are bad"? When Cardinal Bernie Law KEEPS his job after doing the damage he has done to the Boston Dioscese?

"The fish rots from the head down" was Dukakis' mantra....the DemonRats and the RCC PROVE this aphorism.
