What is this, your James Carville impression?

I can live you calling some priests (IN MY CHURCH WHICH IN ITSELF I WILL DEFEND FOREVER) perverts and child abusers, but there is no reason to get personal here and call me a CARVILLE.

IN MY CHURCH WHICH IN ITSELF I WILL DEFEND FOREVER

And therein lies the basis of the problem.

There remain too many Catholics who simply refuse to see the depth and breadth of the problem--from predator homosexual priests to a failed leadership--and choose instead to excuse and defend the Church to the bitter end no matter how much evidence is put before them.

Blame the media, blame the pedophiles, blame the boys and blame the psychologists. Blame everybody else but leave the queer priests and their facilitators, the Bishops and Cardinals, out of it.

You don't have to turn your back on the church to see this for what it is: a perversion. You can still defend the basis tenets of the church and its teachings and yet acknowledge that this cannot be permitted to flourish as a part of that church.

If you do not condemn it--and make very effort to eradicate it--you condone it.
