I am in tears for the suffering on the innocent.<br />The Pope should hide his head in shame & step forward with financial help for every soul that his church destroyed. This is a human catastrophe of imeasurable porportions. We can't accept an apology & think it will go away.

AS I read I cry, the tears are not invited they just flow. Sadness and disgust that the innocent children with no one to care for them and no place to seek shelter jhad to be tortured. Dignity taken away, lives destroyed never to be restored, their very souls were buried in misery. The pope should come to their rescue & support them to the end of their lives, what's left.

I have seen this abuse of personal power in every religion I have looked at .... perhaps the saving grace for Roman Catholicism is that there are people ready to admit that these things happen. <br />Unfortunately it appears to me that organised religions were all, historically, about the control of the many by the few (men) by manipulating the (natural)fears and lack of knowledge of the ordinary man or woman, and the innocence of children.<br /><br />However, there are a majority in the Church... who are good...as there are in every group of humans.<br /><br />My thoughts are with those who follow the Roman Church at this time.Magpie11http://magpie11.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-5828918224751655752009-04-14T07:13:00.000-02:302009-04-14T07:13:00.000-02:30Way too little way too late - I think your maths s...Way too little way too late - I think your maths sums up a great deal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-55922302735442690422009-04-12T20:41:00.000-02:302009-04-12T20:41:00.000-02:30The thing is, Laurie, we thought we were somehow f...The thing is, Laurie, we thought we were somehow finished with all the cases in Ireland.

As Grannymar says, will the Catholic church ever recover from the endless abuse revelations and its increasing irrelevance to the young?

I think it's an abnormal situation the catholic church puts those priests in. Abnormal situations create abnormal sets of behavior, especially when it's going against the very nature of man. Men are sexual beings and need a safe normal outlet for their urges. The catholic church denies them that. Hence the fight with self and booze and child abuse begins.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.com
