We’re not talking perfect here in regard to priests. We’re talking not so hideously, evil.

Almost every Catholic, with the exception of two I’ve seen on FR, manages to downplay the evil perpetrated by the priests against these children and their families.

This is not a matter of *ooops, I slipped, I’m human*. This is a matter of premeditated, planned out, intentional, disgusting evil done against their victims, who are being continually victimized by the Church in with its failure to do anything about it until forced to by the publicity and the disgusting accusations that the victims are in it for the money.

We are talking a habitual evil lifestyle, which is none the better simply because of the age of the victims. The excuses and hair splitting over definitions of what particular brand of sexual sin was engaged in by the priests, as it makes that any less heinous, is revolting.

With its failure to properly address and act on this situation, the Catholic church deserves all the bad publicity and fallout it gets. It brought it on to itself with it’s failure in so many areas regarding this.

It’s your church. You all own it.

You know, whenever they say in humility that the road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops we should simply respond "I believe you".
