Well, there you have it. You had a bad experience, so eveyone else must have too. Give me a break. Quite frankly, your statements are so anti-Catholic, I question your veracity. Again, even if you're being truthful, you don't speak for me or for the majority of Catholics who have had wonderful parish priests and teschers. Tell me something -- if you were mistreated at a gracery store by a clerk, would you refuse to ever go to a grocery store ever again? That's your argument. It's silly!

Yes. I was treated badly by two clerks at Woodmans in Green Bay, I complained to the manager, and after I found out that they had charged me for an item I didn't purchase, I filed a complaint with Wisconsin's Consumer Protection. I did get my money back (after two months), but never received an apology. Because of that, I have not ever gone near that store again and I never will. See, that's what having a moral compass is all about.

Where is your moral compass? You seem to be willing to join in the litany of excuses, justifications and cover-up of priests who are sexual predators. You're certainly making plenty of excuses for them--and for RAPE. See, that's what we're talking about here--men who used their position of power and influence to sexually abuse and sexually assault children and young adults, used their position of power and influence to make sure the victims weren't believed by law enforcement, got the church hierarchy to cover for them--and used the structure of the church hierarchy to assist them and to cover for them. This is a heirarchy--which also includes sexual predators like Weakland, Goeghan, Shanley and a host of others--who thought they could pay off the victims of rapists and pedophiles to keep them quiet, and making sure the families of the victims would be discouraged or blocked from going to law enforcement to make sure these rapists weren't punished.
