Good for you, but I am not that dedicated for the church (oh sure, everyone should be, but they aren't).
By leaving the church (or not being active), I am telling them I don't respect them or admire their lack of action in defense of the victims. Some of them damaged for life! - what some of those 'priests' did, it's so horrendous and REPULSIVE that it can not put aside easily, but the WORSE of all is how the CC responded to it. Look, we all know what has happened... or not? (not rumors after all!).
I will respect the CC when they deserve it, when I admire them again.
Not for a while though.
One big problem is that the Church went along with the tenor of the times and dealt with the abuser in the way suggested by the 'experts', and sent them out to be 'healed', listened to the folks who said they were ready to go back to ministry, then let them back in. Unfortunately, some places had a revolving door policy, and the same people kept going in and out of these places. They should have restricted their ministries after the first rumors proved true, then if convicted, laicized them. It would have saved a lot of grief on the part of subsequent victims. The Bishops were too busy Pastoring the abusers and not the victims.
What is not mentioned in some of these instances, though, is that when the abuse first took place, and the priest was suspected, the parents of the victim didn't press charges. The victims, now grown are coming forward, and the people in charge of the Dioceses now have no idea what went on those many years ago.
It has been a mess all around, but if you'll notice, most of these cases took place in the 70's or at the latest in the 80's. The climate has now changed. The mental health community now understands that pedophiles cannot be rehabilitated, and seminaries are beginning to understand that they are not doing someone who has a homosexual inclination any good by letting him enter the priesthood, no matter how much he thinks he's 'called'.
