Subject: RE: BS: Catholic Bishop and Priest Scandal
Clearly I must have missed your previous post, I do apologize....OK, I really need to get a grip on this issue. Two posts, two apologies, I'm gonna start counting to ten first!!

Have you ever heard a story on the news that was horrifying already, and then you find out the perpetrator was a father or mother or uncle or aunt or priest or someone else who the child would blindly trust.....and your heart just sinks even more? I guess that is why the issue is so hard for me. A mother drowns her kids, a priest molests a child or a man kills a child because of his anger towards the childs mother. I am sad when anyone is wronged or hurt but it is especially hard when it's the ones who we are supposed to protect....our children. It's weird because no one in my family (at least that I know of) has had any issues like these and yet it stirs up a fury in me when I hear about it that's hard to describe.

Hopefully this explains the short fuse a little.....
