Some think I hate the church, not true... But I hate those who ALLOWED the CC to slide off to such a low levels. Those WHO KNEW but looked the other way DID more harm to the church that I ever could. More sadly even and still puzzling to me today is the fact that after the full extend of the abuses were finally known by the press, was the meek response of the church to the whole thing. I would have thought the CC would have come "swinging" to clean up and punish the CRIMINALS. Instead, even today, the message is mixed and definitely no clear on what the position of the church is in all this. I can’t help to wonder if the homosexual / pedophile - liberal nuns of the sixties, already filtered into the higher ranks of the church and thus the muted response. I wonder...
Oh yes, to the original point, I think this little and recent episode in the CC might have something to do with its “lack of popularity? Credibility?” well, something like that.
