More Reflections from 25 Years of Experience
Thomas Doyle
March 10, 2010
I recommend that all Catholics who are trying to understand the ramifications of the clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church read the thought-provoking essay by Fr. Thomas Doyle.
His conclusion hits the nail on the head.
"All the pope has to offer is talk…more words, more meetings, more silly press releases and the promise of a special pastoral letter. The “problem” is not going to be fixed by the pope, the bishops or anyone who works for the institutional Church. Why? Because they are the problem. The light at the end of the long tunnel will remain way out of reach until the very system that produced the dysfunctional clerics and their equally dysfunctional bishops is ended and somehow replaced with not another monarchy but something that one can readily identify with the Body of Christ.
