It's Time for the Catholic Church to Repent

-

Dear defenders of the Catholic Church:


It's not about your fath or your brand of religion.

The latest smack down on the Catholic Church is directly related to the actions of some leaders of the Church, not or beliefs.

These men have done everything under the sun to cover up decades of abuse and worse by priests.

These leaders seem to be taking their playbook from the Morman Chuch, another example of a male dominated faith who will do anything the to "protect it" (read "The Morman Murders" for examples).

What is so infuriating to those outside the Catholic Church is the Church's unwillingness to formally, loudly and fearlessly crack down on these priests who abuse children.

Why is it so hard for the church to confess its sins, repent, and make things right?

Covering up, denial, obfuscation and lying are the cowards way out.

It takes real men to admit their mistakes and correct them.

And where are the lay Catholics? Why are they not demanding this coverup end? Why are they not refusing to fund the church until it stops thiese crimes?

Until the church does a Jimmy Swaggert and airs it's dirty laundry in toto, we'll all suspect the coverup and the crimes continue.
