The Garden of Roses: Stories of Abuse and Healing

I saw the blurb on Abuse Tracker from Bill Donohue about an opinion piece in the New York Times criticizing the author, Paul Elie, as another Catholic malcontent.
My first thought was, We are all Gods hands on this earth. Maybe the malcontents are actually God speaking to Church leadership and telling them they need to shape up.
My second reactions is that sometimes we don’t recognize the help God sends to us.
I am reminded of the story of a man who was stranded during a flood. Before he was stranded, a policeman came to his door and told him to evacuate.
The man said, “God will take care of me.”
The flood waters rose to his doorstep and then into his house.
