I honestly expected another Catholic basher to blast the Vatican for being Roman Catholic. What I found was someone denouncing the culpability of the church in the child molestation scandals. We (the Church and every human being) have several problems stemming from the sin of pride.

Some will not recognize their sin as sin, some will acknowledge their "sinfulness" but never acknowledge their actual sins and practice the hard discipline of repentance and reform, some think that they are courageous in admitting to the sins of the past (whether institutionally or personally) and then they ignore the sin that they presently indulge in and then there are those who divide repentance in half and claim that they feel remorse but do not regret the experiences that "made them who they are". Blessed are the single hearted for they shall see God.

Is she the best spokesman for repeating in essence the message of John the Baptist? Perhaps not. But the Truth of the message should not be lost on us as we indulge in throwing stones at the messenger.
