[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I was an abused child during this time.  Not by priests, but by a neighbor.  I was told not to say anything.
Said neighbor walked around looking in windows:  was anything said to him?  Nope.  We were told to close our curtains.

This is very powerful and true. Sadly, many people are obsessed with blaming only one institution rather than solving the problem and changing societal attitudes overall.[/quote]

I don't necessarily agree with you but the "rest of society" isn't professing to speak for God like the Catholic church does. "The rest of society" isn't trying to convince us that it holds some moral majority and that we should follow it's rules because it is governed by the Holy Spirit. People hold the church to higher standards than the rest of society because the church DEMANDS THAT WE DO.

But I can't convince you.[/quote]

This times 1000.

I think it's particularly curious where Ratzinger, and now the Argentinian are defended by saying, "Well, they were no worse than most in their society at their time."  Talk about setting a low bar. Meanwhile, the priests who were tortured or killed for actually behaving like Christians never have a chance in Hell of getting promoted. It's like the normal moral order of things is completely inverted.[/quote]
