[quote=Anonymous]^^ P.S. every Catholic I know takes the sex abuse scandal extremely seriously. But screaming “sex abuse!” at us does not make our theological position wrong. Sex abuse is a problem in lots of institutions, as are cover-ups. The Catholic Church is a bit like the military — it’s strict hierarchy enables it to fulfill its mission well - spreading the true gospel. But it’s hierarchy made is vulnerable to abuse by the powerful, too. That doesn’t mean it’s inherent corrupt. It means very particular strategies are needed - and are being developed - to counteract the negative aspects of the structure. But the hierarchy had a theological purpose, too, and that must be taken into account.[/quote]
