I typically would agree with you, CM, and I surely don't agree with a lot of stuff that Marigold posts for what is usually an overly inflammatory post. However, in this case, as it relates to the Catholic Church's 'official' stance on the sexual abuse, she is pretty right on.

Sure, the Church's stance on sexual abuse is that it is wrong. No one would disagree with that. BUT, the Church's stance on what has happened, and sometimes what the Church KNEW was happening goes beyond the pale.

If one cannot blame the Catholic church, whom can one blame?
