And the church thought they had the moral authority to tell Bush that the war in Iraq was immoral?

I really feel a great deal of pain for catholics. I just can't help but feel that catholics as a whole are getting a bad rap.

I'll wait to sift the substance from the sensationalism.

Only that God was wrong about Iraq. And Bush was right.

That's a strawman argument. No argument with God. Just the spokespeople within the church who think they have the moral authority to comment on the war. They can't even get their own house in order.
And, let me say, I used to be Catholic and went to Catholic church. Until I was 8. My father walked out the door when on the day JFK was killed. My sister was 3 weeks old. There were 4 of us kids. The priest came the following week to tell my mother none of us could receive the sacrament. Previous to that, the church had been a source of comfort to her, and to us.

This needs to happen. Change won't occur until the evil elements are driven out of the Church...

So Abu Ghraib will be on the second page now?
As in any organization there is always bad. What we hope for the most is that the house will be cleaned out. And cleaned out good this time. If this is true, I can imagine the meltdown that will occur, including here.

If they can't blame it on Bush, they won't bother with it.

Great! I wonder how the DMN will blame Bush.
FYI, yesterday, after information was posted in the late afternoon about neocommunist Congressman Martin Frost being charged in a campaign finance abuse issue, I called for bets on its coverage in today's DMN.
It wasn't! It was on the front page of the Fort Worth Startlegram. The DMN had a small article on the second page of the second section announcing that Frost's office said the charge was frivolous. No coverage of the charges of criminal activity.
So, while your revalations might be of concern to Catholics and the priests who have enjoyed the lavish life styles, my bet is that the DMN will use it to jab Bush or, like a spigot, to divert attention from Bush when something good happens or from Flipper John when something bad (for him) happens.
But, thanks for the heads up!

So what's new?
Any Catholic who has not had his or her head in the sand will not get up tight. MOF, there are many more problems facing the Church and they affect many priests the total laity much more than the priests or the people involved in the sex scandals.
The biggest problem is the amount of un- taught laity and the Church can blame that on all the clergy not those involved in the sex scandals. Bishop's and priest's responsibility is to get souls into heaven and they have been doing a poor job of that. All the clergy will be judged by God for their catechilical or lack of towards their flocks

I just can't help but feel that catholics as a whole are getting a bad rap. Leftists in general, and media leftists in particular, absolutely hate the Catholic Church.
However, if this is going on, and there's yet another coverup, I'd say the Catholic Church has nobody to blame but itself, and they've broken faith with their flock.

I wonder what aspect of the sex abuse scandal the author could call "largely uncovered." From where I sit, it's been saturation coverage of every angle I can think of.
At this point, unless the Pope is personally implicated in the coverup, it's hard to see how any more damage can be done. It's not as if the American hierarchy has any credibility left to lose.

My faith has seen fit to toss scripture aside and go for the PC angle. I'm methodist. I still have my faith, I just have little use for the church.
