"the church must never again be allowed the malignant influence it once had and abused - and it must never again be given access to the bodies and minds of children." (JC)

Globally and without exception. I could not agree more. I do have some sympathy for the genuine innocents in the Catholic church, assuming they exist, but that is impossible to determine and I don't think it is right to take a risk of that magnitude with children. I find it very hard to see how anyone with a conscience could continue to support such an institution.

"We humbly ask for forgiveness."

Some sins are just too big to be forgiven. One priest alone admitted abusing 100 children; I can't even think of an appropriate punishment. Forgiveness my arse.
