[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not Catholic myself but my husband is and we've had all our kids baptized Catholic. My MIL is their godmother. DH and MIL won't accept a Protestant church in any form. DH would give up going to church altogether, but I don't want to do that. I'd like for my kids to be raised in a church. My oldest is 7 and I feel strongly that I need to talk to her about never being alone with anyone from the church, and it's almost bringing me to tears just thinking about it. I'm just at a loss.

The reporting strongly suggests that Wuerhl basically used the scandal as a stepping stone for his own career, while continuing to cover up new revelations. This may be the final straw for me in supporting a Catholic upbringing for my kids.[/quote]

OP here - I sort of keep coming back to a similar thought.  If I have to warn my DC about not being alone with anyone from the church, then that is a huge red flag for me.  What kind of religion is it then?  But then again, I've always been worried about things like this, and would probably warn a child about being alone with a coach, etc.  [/quote]

PP again. I was a decent athlete through MS and HS and was never warned as a child and don't plan to warn my kids about coaches specifically. I spent time alone with coaches regularly to talk about the team, to get extra practice in, just to chat because I was close with some (male and female) coaches. I think that just reiterates my discomfort and sadness here, that I DO feel the need to warn about the church.[/quote]
