I really don't want to step on anybody's toes, and this is only my humble opinion. I have a very firm faith as a Christian...but it boggles my mind how anybody who is associated with the name "Catholic" can remain so. If that happened in our "religeous group" (for lack of a better term), I would run so far and so fast, my faith would be gone. Here the "Church" is supposed to be a pillar of ties to God, and something so awful as pedophile getting mixed up & HIDDEN...and therefore justified is beyond my comprehension. I so agree with you Sara:

and well I also believe we are living in the last days and Jesus is soon to return...
That very thought is what keeps me going some days! (**again, this is only my $.02...please don't hold it against me**)
