I was raised Catholic, but have not been to church in years. My children also went to a Catholic school back then, which I loved. But after the scandal in RI in the early 80's and nothing was done, I became quite wary of the church. Nothing was being done, and a priest that married us also had made complaints to the bishop and nothing was done. My kids left the school, and after 20 years, finally something came out. I am appalled that the church can be so unforgiving to people who divorce, or have them excommunicated because they work for Planned parenthood, and yet continue to protect their priests from sexual abuse to boys, and the priest in Mass that had two children with a woman and denied it until the DNA came back. Talk about hypocrites.

So, it would seem that in your opinion, because the Church failed to crack down on chickenhawk homo priests, it should stop enforcing other standards as well?

Ahh. Then you're a "Church Catholic" that is, one that believes and lives according to the "Church." You should become a "Christ Catholic" that is one that bases her faith on the teachings of Christ. AND, since Christ was the One who began the Catholic Church...
