I just read another news story about the sex-abuse scandal inundating the Catholic Church.
For Catholics, it is becoming a moral holocaust.
And yet, for decades, there have been inklings of a serious issue.
While jokes and cartoons about priests and altar boys might have been around for more than 50 years ago, even appearing occasionally in mainstream magazines, nobody’s laughing at those cartoons today.
The Catholic sex scandal has exploded, leaving thousands of victims in its rubble. Like a hand grenade, it has produced collateral damage. Millions of bystanders continue to be hit by shrapnel.
I am one.
