If I might add something: Post #2 about priests and marriage shows me how shallow and facile our thinking has been about the church abuse.

Pedaphiles lurk amongst the married as well as the single. Now what? No simple generalizations will do here. Allowing priests to wed does not eliminate the problem.

How dismissive! See! It's a Catholic problem! Protestants marry! And Pride goeth before the Fall.

The Pointing finger needs to come in our direction. Ours, and anyone's who turned a blind eye, or looked away or pretended not to notice. People KNEW. The kids knew. And nothing happened.

So, society has done an about-face. Let the shrieking begin! But tell me: What have we learned?
