I
would like to thank The Press for calling the Catholic Church to account for
the ills that have impacted worldwide. We are all grateful when other unjust
and dysfunctional issues are brought to light and individuals helped.
I'm sure I speak on behalf of the vast majority of Catholics -- almost one billion of us -- (minus the paedophiles!) who stand stunned and shamed by all that has happened. I cannot help but liken it to the twin-towers calamity. It feels as if something like this has hit the Church, with a particular focus on the priesthood and celibacy.
