Read and be informed. Read the paragraph toward the bottom. THe priest says what I have been saying..in the church I was raised in, and still practice although as a Bad Catholic and not a Good One, he comes right out and says the real sin was being with a woman..not abusing children. That is how people were raised..men especially, probably seminarians especially. It is not just the priests and bishops, it is or maybe was the mothers and not as much the fathers, but the holy mothers.

Once again, here is my song..sung to Boston Burglar

I am a Boston grandmother Catholic as can be
I never thought I 'd see the day my church would fail me
What went on in that sacristy was a great and mortal sin
And now they're coming forward the boys who grew to men

I see him on the altar with his bright and shining face
I should have never let him set a foot within that place
My other sons were different hoodlums one and all
But little Aloyscious I prayed would hear the call

Put the priests in jail and slam the iron door
And tell the other prisoners what they are in there for
Then throw in the bishops and toss away the key
And if I had my druthers they would never be set free

We went to our devotions the priest said let us pray
I guess we all know now it could be spelled another way
God protect the faithful who listened to them preach
And God protect the little boys who fell within their reach
