Church Abuse

This week yet another court case is taking place regarding the cover-up of clerical sex abuse.

It used to be hard to imagine that the rape of children could be made even worse by having
another crime added on to it.

In the Catholic Church, we know that often other priests had knowledge of abuse taking place,
and the bishop too, and yet nobody did anything to stop and prevent it, but instead denied it.
It is this last fact that has caused hundreds of thousands to turn  away from the Church, never to return.

The same pattern of denial and silence that accompanies every new case, is a completely counterproductive exercise.
