Yes, you're right, landerwy, we've indeed strayed from the original thesis of the article presented. It's a bit depressing when seemingly 75% of threads which deal with the Catholic church end up going "off the rails" for the same reason.
My apologies for contributing to the derailment of this particular thread; I just get weary of seeing the "pot & kettle" attitude over & over ;-)
I think we need something similar to Godwin's Law . . . whoever first brings up "Child Molestation!" in an otherwise unrelated Catholic thread Loses the Argument.
Apology accepted!! LOL
I just want to talk solutions instead of pointing fingers. I'm sure we all have good ideas to make things better. I know I have enough faults to go around too!
As some wise man said, "Look for the good and you will find it". Anyway, I hope you have a good day!
