It is a real shame how people fall for the bashing of the Catholic church. I even hear Catholics doing this, telling all the horror stories about when they went to Catholic schools and how the Nuns were so mean and yadda, yadda, yadda. I went to public school and those things happened to me at times and you know what, I deserved them. Like I said, The abuse thing goes on in a walks of life but because it doesn't happen in the Catholic church in most cases, it doesn't get covered.
Also, Salvation, thanks a lot for posting the prayer request.
Thanks for your wisdom.
