...God knows, we aren't without sin either. Nor is any human institution. So I'm not casting stones. But I have a deep respect for the Catholic Church, and a general feeling of respect for our institutions in general. And it's difficult not to see all this as systematic corruption, from the top down. For a very long time. Let's hope they can begin the process of cleaning house, and doing something for their victims...
