Isn't it time we all simply let go of the past and stopped moaning?


I am not going to go back and see who posted this. I am a Catholic man, and I want to state unequivecolly that we certainly MUST NOT let go of the past and stop moaning. While I never witnessed any of this, and the harshest critics still must admit that the percentage of priests that did this is below 5%, still we must root out the perpetrators, and destroy the culture that permitted this to happen. That is the only chance there is for redemption and to rebuild the confidence in the Church.

But most importantly, we owe a debt to those injured. The Church, and ones faith, is where one should feel safest and most secure. During the time children are asking essential questions and becoming adults, is the time they are most vulnerable. These "priests" that took advantage of these children are sick animals and must be purged. The culture in our Church that hid this, and did nothing must be changed. There can be no equivocation, or mitigation, of this guilt.
