Oh, PLEASE do! I have had to defend myself in here so many times just for saying that that it is getting to be boilerplate for me...

THANK YOU!

It is one aspect of the church that will never forgive them for... The abuses of defenseless children. But more infuriating to me even... It's all these plethora of EXCUSES they - The "defenders" of the church - use, in other to "make it go away!" (The wish). They may attack you, because your words have the weight of truth. I on the other hand, I am considered some kind of a rabid ignorant so they leave me alone (smile), and to a certain extend I am ignorant; I don't know as much as many of the of the very enlighted people here but stupid I am not. And I know that Catholic Church is not doing what ALL THEY COULD DO to defend our families from all the filth that is about to engulf us.

The church and their faithful could at least try to make it up to those children, by doing what they should doing now: DEFENDING OUR CULTURE AS IF THEY REALLY CARED.

So PLEASE, don't shy from their attacks, it only means you are being effective!... Please shout it out loud, because as long as you and I and many others do, they can not "hide it under the rug," which is what they wish for.

Take care - EP
