This has to be hard on Catholics who have put up with a lot over the last 30 years.

I left after the cover-up and protection of the sexual predators became obvious.

I don’t see a revolution in Rome, I don’t think the forces of good are strong enough now.

The laity must act, worldwide. A leader must arise from outside the hierarchy. Very difficult, but God provides.

My parish was hit by that and so was my Dad's parish, both in the Diocese of Rochester. The priests in question didn't molest boys in our parishes, but had previously molested boys on other parishes and Bishop Clark assigned them to our parishes, both of whom have an abundance of children. Neither should have been around children ever again! I stayed on though until the last straw for me was our new pastor signed a petition to allow homosexuals to be admitted to seminaries.

I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian and two out of three of my adult children are as well by their choice. My youngest is an Evangelical Christian and he and his wife and my grandson attend a Baptist church. I have gone to church services with them.
