"I work for myself."

You are right, you can protect your life and family from the vermin. You won't live on easy street but you will keep those dear to you safe.

In the church we talk about the, "people in the pews".

The people in the pews have very little knowledge of the state of the church and they don't have a clue what is happening in the priesthood.

I live in the San Francisco area. Every sermon is about accepting others as they are. No sin. No contrition. No Christianity just do your own thing!!

I have not heard a homily in my Church that mentions sin, hell, authentic Catholic sexual morality, or confession, in the last 10 years, or that mentions the true nature of this scandal in the last, for that matter. Those who commit evil within the Church (not an insubstantial number) relie on the goodness and faith and trust of the 'people of the pews.' As one of those, we have been horrendously betrayed, by those we would have trusted most.

Shocking as it is, many priests have abandoned Christianity in many of its aspects - or they never accepted it to begin with.
