It\u2019s all over the news, and I\u2019ve felt as though I didn\u2019t know how to say what I wanted to say.<\/p>\n

Lerin at Beautiful Chaos says it beautifully<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abuse is wrong. <\/p>\n

When people in authority take advantage of the ones in their care, that is wrong.<\/p>\n

When people expect their leaders to be\u00a0perfect and blindly\u00a0trust them\u00a0to be\u00a0sinless, that is wrong.<\/p>\n

When abuse is covered up or explained away, that is wrong.<\/p>\n

Abuse has been a part of humanity in all times, places and churches, and it has always been and always will be WRONG<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

I pray that the Catholic Church will take this seriously and make the changes that need to happen.<\/p>\n
