Subject: RE: BS: Catholic Bishop and Priest Scandal
Hey Kat, do you also curse the Church for two thousand years of charity? For orpahns homes, hospitals, universities, soup kitchens and participation in the labor movement? Do you hate the church for asking memebers to give to the poor?

As a Catholic, I see that the Church has many problems as it is run by men who have the same failings as all men. I believe that the men who, in the name of the Church, should be punished as all men. I believe that the Church was dead wrong to protect those who abused the position of priesthood in abusing anyone. BUT I also see the lives of countless saints who devoted their lives to the betterment of man ( and still do every day). I see the men and women I see in Mass going into the world and making it better one step at a time. You see only the bad - I see the bad and the good. Why are your eyes closed to the good?
