Yes I agree, that not one single place is perfect. But when it is *SO* widespread and in every newspaper & all over the news for weeks?? Not just a couple of isolated incidents, but an entire downfall?? Every day a new case was being uncovered. And you would like to closely associate that with your faith in God?? Child abuse is one of THE most horrific and despicable things possible...are you saying that it was OK and that we should still have faith in a system that harbors such? I'm not saying I would lose faith in God...I would definitely lose faith in that church.
