Dear PNAMBC,

I know as certainly about my parish as you know about your congregation.

Which is why I said, "known", and which is as far as you can claim for your own congregation.

I suppose a difference between the Catholic Church and the Independent Baptists is that when we discover terrible evil in a parish community, even in its leadership, we try to mend it. Catholics are not supposed to be surprised by the evil men do, even those in the Church.

It appears that you believe (I won't impute your particular belief to all Independent Baptists, but it may be a general belief of them), that should you find terrible evil in your leadership, you should pack up and leave, sundering the community of believers, either finding a new one for yourself, or creating a new one.

sigh-----Please note that I said before I would leave my church, I would work first to fix the problem. Why must you always twist what I say.

Also note, please, I am not saying one way or the other that things aren't being done to prevent this again. THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I want to know how gathering the data presented in this article will help fix the problem in the RCC. Why, this data is pertinent?

IMO, it seemed that no other reason then to get the monkey off the RCC and point fingers.

You had a different take on it, fine, that is your perogative. Very few of the posts I have recieved have been anything about the article. Most of them have just been personal flames. Don't get me wrong, I'm not whining or on a rant about that, if I was I would have pinged the Mod., I'm just point out the facts of the flames.

Can't you guys just discuss the article and then let it drop?

Becky
