After 2,000 Years - It's Still in Committee
Catholics like to tell us their church has been around for 2,000 years. If so, then after all this time, they still haven’t figured out to deal with priestly sex offenders!! This was revealed in an interview with Australian Archbishop Philip Wilson of Adelaide, in a July 19 Zenit News Agency article titled, “Toward Never Another Sexual Abuse Crisis.”
Here are some article highlights (italics mine):
“Archbishop Philip Wilson…agrees that the church needs a plan to not only respond, but to also prevent these acts from happening in the future.”
“Also to do the work that’s necessary to make sure that this will and cannot happen again.”
“We need to work out ways in which children can be protected and looked after in our communities without being any danger to them.”
“I think that people everywhere are working really hard at devising the most appropriate ways to respond…”
“We need to be looking at what we need to do as a community in order to develop better child protection systems.”
So……according to His Grace, Rome still needs - “a plan” - “to do the work” - “to work out ways” - “to respond” and - “to be looking at what we need to do.”
What was the archbishop really saying? Here’s a paraphrase: ‘Let’s keep saying we’re working on the problem. We’ll get the priests to lay low for a while, and maybe that will get people off our backs.’ The Catholic Church is responding to the sex abuse issue like any worldly bureaucracy would – it hopes to bury it in committee!!
Question – How long will it take before the Catholic Church finally has “a plan” to deal with priestly child abusers?
Answer- You should live so long!
May God continue to protect children from the Roman priesthood. May He grant many Catholics repentance from the sin of Catholicism, and bless them with saving faith in Christ ALONE for eternal life – no Catholic Church needed!
