Hey Joe, You are absolutely right. Any child support structure should be independent of any other organized entity that may be preying on them. Say it like it is! Regards Chris DeSouza in SF

It is not about the church, not about me or my pleasure, not about us, and not about our faith or our feelings. It is absolutely ludicrous for a childline and child support structures to have an affiliation with the church in view of all that has happened. Period. Surely everyone agrees with that? I would love to comment on all the other stuff - and I have loads to say - but to do so would be to remove the focus from the children, so I wont.

Right now, those are precisely the emotions that are uppermost, as people try to deal with the pretense and secrecy that helped this "dark secret" to grow to such proportions. Incidentally, getting the anger out is also a vital part of any genuine healing process. No matter how people try to justify the behaviour of the perpetrators, the fact remains that they were being protected, when the victims who were actually the ones who required the protection received none. I guess the church cannot undo the wrongs it has done. It can only try to heal, as much as it can, the enormous amount of hurt and damage that has been inflicted so far.

Truth will prevail. What we feel is true today may not be tomorrow. What is dark ? What is light? An owl and I view it differently. Again if I believe in something I will find all the reasons, if not, I have all the excuses. The sore needs to be dealt with, but there is a whole intricate body full of blood vessels and nerves out there which should not be taken for granted or ignored. Then there are those that are knowledgeable or righteous that take care of it expeditiously, on the other hand the unscrupulous for their own personal gain fester it for as long as it can be milked or out of ignorance. Criticism can be constructive/healing or destructive/vindictive.

But, sooner or later, the truth in any sordid situation does come to light - and, unfortunately, with a ferocity that matches the length of time it has been hidden. In my opinion, keeping a festering sore tightly bandaged up and concealed will in no way help it to heal; and unfortunately this is what has been happening for too long with the Paedo-priest infection in our church, so now that it's out in the open, the spewing of all that has been pent up for so long is unstoppable.
