Jim sez: What has to come out of all this is that the church be confined to the teaching of philosophy to those who voluntarily seek its advice. What I find frightening, Jim, is that word "confined." I speak loudly and constantly in the name of the Catholic Church on behalf of immigrants and the homeless, which are currently my two main concerns. And no matter what happened in the sex scandal, I WILL NOT BE CONFINED. I acknowledge that other members of my church have done terrible things. Nonetheless, I WILL NOT BE SILENCED. -Joe Offer-
