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.
"trust of the 'people of the pews.' As one of those, we have been horrendously betrayed, by those we would have trusted most."
Yes, the betrayal!
I learned about it in 1984. A priest told me the semenaries were corrupt. I didn't accept it and I kept my mout shut.
