Finally! I applaud this priest, who with some VISIBLE authority, publicly admits to the shame that the Catholic Church must bare for the sex abuse scandal. At the same time he is willing to address it in open conversation without shying away from it. Yes, there is good reason for that shame, and he expresses that. Yet, at the same time, this priest is able to put it into perspective as we look at this topic in light of society as a whole. Although it is not an easy topic to talk about this priest is not afraid to address it. He knows that the media and those who do not care much for the Church have used this shameful crisis to brand the entire Church as evil. Thank you Archbishop Dolan for taking a firm stand against the guilty parties and at the same time reminding everyone of the RICH contributions of the Catholic Church in our society.
The NY Times had a recent article that really was a 'revelation' for the rest of the media and the anti-Catholics in our society. I can not help but ask them, where is THAT shame? Where is the outcry? Where is the outrage?
