It would be kind of refreshing to see more than one or two Catholics acknowledge that what the priests did was wrong and the way the Catholic church handled it was wrong.

Everyone else can see that it’s wrong. Why not Catholics?

No, instead they cry *hate* and *bigotry*.

For what? Forcing them to face the music by insisting on accountability?

Its not an either/or situation.

There are some who don't give a damn about the deeper issues here, but are indeed using this simply to further their anti-Catholic bigotry and hatred.

If you can't see that, step back from the issue for a minute and think and pray about it.

I guess I’m missing your point here. What are the “deeper issues” that aren’t being discussed?

I don't doubt that for one minute.

Having been raised Catholic in a highly Catholic community, I never experienced myself the Protestant bigotry towards Catholics that I've heard exists. I've heard of many of the things that Protestants have called Catholics in the past and am just appalled and honestly have not run across much of that mentality these days, myself.

Most Protestants I know have Catholic family members and do not have the bias towards Catholics. I did work with one southern Baptist who was more biased and outspoken and I was NOT impressed.
