Bigotry has no legitimate role to play in the pursuit of justice."<br /><br />I agree on both counts. There WERE and ARE real abuse cases (although the numbers are going down dramatically) in the Catholic Church and there were and are bad responses and cover ups by the hierarchy. BUT if you read the NYT and other papers or watched TV you would think that ONLY the Catholic Church has this problem. In fact the stats are the Catholic Church has this problem less and is cleaning house. Orthodox Rabbis have had this problem (there are whole websites dedicated to it but NO front page news stories or Nightline reports) and the largest amount of underage abuse is in the Public Schools.<br /><br />Again, this does not justify that which is wrong but there should be some context and fairness that this is put in.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749502342803111273noreply@blogger.com
