Catholic bashing, or the bashing of any religion, or those that subscribe to no religion on this mortal coil, is always an ugly undertaking, but I think what got the Catholic Church in trouble was not so much the abuse, but the institutional harboring and cover-up of the abuse in times past. I don't think other Christian denominations have faced the charge of harboring and cover-up. But yes, it is time to move on. I think the hierarchy of thee Catholic Church got the message, for whatever reason, even if it is only a pecuniary one.
If I have learned anything from Sinkspur on this topic, it is that the sins of the hierarchy should not be visited upon the flock, or their profound belief in that which cannot be traduced by the sins of mere man. Leaps of faith are not subject to the vicissitudes of mortals. They reign in the realm of the eternal, which is beyond the reach of mortals.
That is my take anyway.
Yes to all of the post.
