All of my efforts here have been in defense of the Church. Using your analogy, I've been trying to save the forest from a few well meaning but misguided people trying to burn it all down just to get at a few individual trees.
We have a good Pope. If you have a problem with a particular bishop, write a letter to Rome. Don't just attack the bishop's office.Yes, you've said the truth i.e., the good Pope, respect for the office of bishop. But the rest has clearly been tried and failed. The sad part is that the Church you love only seems to respond when the money dries up and the press shines a light on the crimes inside. That makes the Catholic Church look really bad. I think the Church in America is in for a rough ride if it follows the course you suggest. Link:Should we prosecute the Catholic Church?
