It is not a fun time to be a Catholic, but the time to exorcise these demons is right now.
Yes, we need to cleanse the Church and go back to the business of worshiping God through His Son, Jesus Christ. But my faith hasn't wavered one iota since these stories flooded the country. I am 100% devoted to Jesus Christ, and 100% believe that the Catholic Church is the Church established by Him, and therefore the gates of Hades will not prevail.
This is a time of purification, a time of suffering, a time of struggle: it is not the time to walk away and say, "Oh, well, all is for naught." It is a time to stand firm, to know our faith -- to learn more about our faith -- to attend Mass as often as possible, at LEAST every week; to pray more than ever before. It is a time to meditate on the Holy Eucharist and the gift Jesus gave us, Himself, every time we need Him.
God bless.
