Destroying the Catholic Church

The Catholic church was once a “wonder of the world,” making a large segment of the population think it was as near perfect as human beings could make it. The recent proliferation of child sex claims involving young boys (not even nuns) has threatened to destroy it. Mostly because the high-ranking priests covered it up for so many years, and ignored the effect it would have on the Church if it were not stopped. Now it’s getting worse, as Europeans file claim after claim. Can claims in the U. S. be far behind? Can they continue to deny it is a major problem and remain a “bastion of good in the world?” Their credibility has suffered tremendously.  (New York Times)
