Cardinal tells pope: Faithful not influenced by 'gossip'


"The lives of survivors of child sexual abuse, the faith of members of the church, and the credibility of church leadership have all been wounded grievously by the evil deeds of priests and religious who exploited their position to wreak havoc on the lives of helpless children. Those wounds were aggravated by serious mismanagement on the part of bishops and other leaders in the Church," said Irish Cardinal Sean Brady in his homily.

I could not have said it better myself. When is the Church hierarchy going to step up to the challenge of taking blame, supporting victims and initiating solutions? Or is the Church simply rotten to the core!
