Actually Brendan, to be fair, others have said that. I said that until and unless local church leaders are called to account by their church, the rank and file are being let down by the institution. The church was the driving ethic of this type of home and unless the church can open up and satisfy society that it deserves to be let loose on vulnerable people in future, it's privilege remains in question.

The new Pope is a breath of fresh air and means well. But even a religion based on elevating a leader to infallible status, he still has people under him who are rightly afraid of their past roles on condoning awful things, and are fearful of openness. He needs to be inwardly effective in the same way as he is outwardly a good man. Granted, a good man who can't denounce bigotry, misogyny and homophobia in his ranks but I genuinely do see his dilemma. Ditto Archbishop of Canterbury and Anglican practices world wide.

Our shared comparison, NHS is a good example itself. In trying to improve matters, one weapon I use without shame is telling the good that the bad are letting them down as well as themselves. Dr Bloggs isn't uncaring, The NHS is uncaring until Dr Bloggs is dealt with. Peer pressure driving his standards upwards being a win win for all.
