To say that there was not a "silent endorsement" of what was happening as evidenced by DECADES of silence, denial, and ignoring what was happening is to ignore reality.

This is just nonsense. Incidently, when was the last time you went to Mass? You seem to be pretty out of touch with what is going on in your Church.

Nonsense? Seems you are the one out of touch with what was going on in the church. Decades of silence and virtual acceptance of what was happening occured. DECADES!

Or maybe you are of the opinion that it was just a few, isolated instances and the media just blew it out of proportion and made a big deal out of it when in reality it wasn't a problem at all.
