More Catholic Angst: Archbishop of Toronto calls sex-abuse 'exceptions'

Read this article.

Nothing this Archbishop said is untrue except for one bit near the end, which is the hopeful belief this all happened in the past. Paedophiles don’ts top offending, and my guess is these “scandals” will recycle every decade or so, which is how long it will take the next crop of victims to process what has happened to them. But it is true the majority of priests are not criminal perverts, and his point about it is well taken.

What he fails to address though is in his apparent inability to realise the world isn’t actually disturbed by the pervert priests so much as the fact the Church’s systematic conspiracies to cover the abuse, at the cost of hundreds and maybe thousands of additional victims. Not recognising the problem is the conspiracy is similar to an alcoholic believing the problem to be the alcohol itself, rather than the disease that compels them to drink.
