Re: "Boy's Club" - and you still want respect?

No there isn't!
They have yet to stand up - as a group OR as individuals - and really denounce the child-abusers-torturers that hail from the same cloth as all Catho-licks.
Not one public announcment, information session, or apology. Nothing!!!!!!
I mean, when you are a group, you are a group. What - you think WE [non-'Lickers] can tell which of you is in favour of torturing children? No - maybe you should wear a badge or something saying "I AM NOT A PROPONENT OF CHILD SEX RAPE ABUSE".
The abused still suffering is common, it is rampant.
In my home town,there were likely several abused children at the catholic church there - BUT WE DON'T KNOW YET BECAUSE NOBODY CAME FORWARD TO TALK ABOUT IT, TO OPENLY DISCUSS THE HARM TO THE COMMUNITY and the KIDS.
Public information sessions at least, for the communities. Nope, its just quiet.
Until the silence is broken, until the perps are held to the flame for their victims, and the victims GET TO KNOW WHO WAS DOING THE ABUSE, there will be silent suffering ["that priest only abused me, so I am the only really bad one, and I will shut up since I am alone in this"].
You are allowing the silent suffering to go on.That is second in crime only to the ritual child sex abuse.Yes, YOU - each CAtholic who is not standing up and shouting "THAT WAS WRONG, WE WANT JUSTICE". Nope, silence, the vatican will handle it...
If I were a catholic, I would be doing everything I could to see the perps put on trial - insist that of your priests and then we'll talk about not painting you all with the same brush.
In the 1950's , silence is how they got away with so much...
you are continuing that. Yours is one group that should be "shamed", all of you. What have YOU done , personally, for those victims?NO?Nothing? - and you still belong to that church...
