the Catholic Church is history's whipping boy...
Anti-Catholicism, Again: The permanent scandal of the Vatican.
I've been active in the Catholic Church all my life, from a young boy as an Altar Boy to an adult as Chair of the Parish Pastoral Council and member of the Diocesan Deanery. I have never been abused by a Catholic priest. Furhter, I might add, I know many, many Catholics, from many, many places the world over, and I have yet to meet one who has been abused by a priest. I'm not saying that they don't exist. I'm just saying that the emphasis is wrong. It's much like the infamous 'burning times'. If the number of women who were killed by authorities as witches during those years are as high as is often claimed, the populaton of Europe would have been decimated...
Silent Servants...
... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.
A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...
