mgarvey and others I offended early on in this thread... I have watched the news with sadness and disbelief over the past week or so. I was shocked at the initial post, but, having been more shocked at the lurid details of actual admissions by trusted spiritual leaders, I apologize. I realize this is not the first time this has come to light, but the magnitude is bothersome and can't be swept aside as "a few bad apples".

Again, my apologies. I had no idea that your postulate was supported by actual incidents, and, apparently, my faith closed my mind to the fact that such could be true. I have not followed this thread, nor will I... it sickens me so.
