re: #152 reine.de.tout

The Church seems to be utterly clueless as to how these scandals affect the victims, as well as congregations around the country; these things truly do shake a person’s faith.

I keep thinking that for every horror story of a priest out there, there are countless other good priests who are doing a good job, and whose jobs are made even more difficult by these scandals.

These pedophile priests need to be dealt with in the legal system, AND within the Church itself, as harshly as possible.

I think that as long as The Catholic Church tries to superficially suppress the strongest urge to which humans are exposed, then stories such as this will persist.
