I posted this last evening for comments and found that I quoted some fake news in a portion of it. This is my letter sent to the bishops on their handling of sexual abuse in the clergy. I welcome your comments and encourage your to speak out to your bishop as well.
There are a number of meetings in Archdioceses across America this week to discuss this issue. Enough attention will get this into their discussions rather than the usual CYA.

I’m no theologian, and I don’t want to go down the Protestant/Catholic road to contention. But I do think the Roman Catholic Church needs to have an uncomfortable Reformation. I don’t suggest they change anything of their theology — no need to go Martin Luther or anything — but they need to do MASSIVE cleanup that will take decades. If it’s not ugly and embarrassing, it’s not real.
Better PR won’t do it.

Loyal devout Catholics realize that a purge of the hierarchy and clergy is absolutely necessary. Homosexuality is truly an abomination and should not be tolerated. What now exists is not holy.

Did you send this to your own bishop only, or also to others?
Any response?
