[QUOTE="dezguy, post: 2481035, member: 49811"] Who said I'm hiding my head in the sand?? As a matter of fact, I'm glad these cases came to light and the church came under scrutiny. Fact of the matter is, there are far more good people doing good in the world than there are paedophiles in the Catholic Church. You stated that there is nothing wrong with being Catholic, so long as a priest didn't take a liking to you. I'm Catholic, my wife is Catholic, our kids are Catholic and none of us have ever been touched by a priest, as you allude all Catholics to have been. If you decided to turn your back on your religion, that's your prerogative but I don't think it is fair to lump the entire church into the same pile. The church and the See have their downfalls and I'll never downplay the seriousness of what has happened and may still be happening but I still choose to believe the vast majority serving are doing so out of love rather than malice.
