ERICK ERICKSON: Clerical Cowards And Their Cover-Up.

I am not Catholic but have many Catholic friends, for whom I grieve. The church is exposed now to the devil, and regardless of your politics or faith, this is a scandal about which you should care deeply. It is exposing not just the church hierarchy but also the American media that once prided themselves on uncovering abuse within the church. Now, instead, our social betters in the press have taken the position that molesting children is bad but homophobia is worse.

And even worse is environmental decay: Pope calls plastics littering oceans an ‘emergency.’

Pedophilia in the Catholic church, apparently not so much.
