The Church

As we have been unable to avoid hearing and reading about for the last weeks is that of the Catholic Church scandal. And being a Catholic and also being a cynical Catholic I would like to give my words about the scandal. To begin with I believe that the media has done a wonderful job and should follow this story as far as it will take them just because the scandal is a very disgusting thing that has rampaged its way through the church. But I believe that the Minnesotan media has done a very bad and demeaning cover of the story, mainly because the Minnesotan disocese has already gone through this scenerio, 10 years ago, and has cleaned up. Now many priests that have already been punished are recieving it over again. To a final conclusion when people go on mocking the Catholic Church you have to remeber that priests are just as human as any other person, and they have their failures and their disturbing fetishes as well, and not that we should accept this as okay. But we must realize that of course these people will sin and will be pedophiles and so on. And to that extent the percent of priests that are actually pedophiles is significantly lower than the normal population, which means that priests, for the most part, are trying to fight temptations hence a blanket statement of priests being evil and disturbed is not deserved and very ignorant.
