Catholic Priests Abused 1,000 Children in Pennsylvania

[230RN]

The last time I was in a Catholic church it had been so long since the previous time, I forgot to take off my hat.

Made me think about why women had to cover their heads, men could not.  Never did resolve that question in my mind.  I gave up thinking about it when my perverse little brain hit on the concept of a guy wearing a toupée in church.  What then?

Decided to think about what I was going to have for lunch, instead.

it came out that he had embezzled over a million dollars from the parish. He spent the money supporting his homosexual lover who lived in ... New York City. His weekly trips weren't for cancer treatments, they were to see his lover.

That sounds familiar.  I think I've read of this case elsewhere.

A small church where everyone is in each other’s business at least has some possibility of accountability.

Even that isn’t a perfect solution, don’t know what is.

Sometimes everyone knows what is going on, and ignores it.

I know of a tiny church where one "deacon" sent his wife to the hospital.  The youth "leader" was arrested for raping a 12 year old boy also.

And in a synagogue men are expected to cover their heads.

Same deity, different rules. Go figure.

I don't think she ever set foot in a Catholic church again except the day we attended the Eagle Scout investment (or whatever they call it) ceremony for the son of a friend of hers, which happened to be held in a Catholic church.
