There Is A Much Larger Crisis
UK
It has become fashionable to claim that the sex abuse scandal currently afflicting the Catholic Church is “its biggest crisis since the Reformation”. Oh, really? Tell me about it - “writes Gerald Warner” of the Telegraph. He continues: “The abuse issue is just a small part of the much larger crisis that has engulfed the Church since the Second Vatican Catastrophe and which is more serious than the Reformation.”
An International Registry of Priests
Switzerland
Benedictine Abbot Martin Werlen of Einsiedeln of Switzerland has proposed that the Vatican establish an international registry of priests who have committed abuse so that dioceses and religious orders could determine whether to accept a priest who had previously worked elsewhere.
Campaign to Discredit the Catholic Church
Italy
Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the president of the Italian bishops' conference, has decried what he sees as a campaign to discredit the Catholic Church through emphasis on sexual abuse by clerics. Cardinal Bagnasco, speaking to a meeting of the Italian episcopal conference, conceded that the flurry of stories in the European media has exposed a real problem, but argued that the problem is by no means restricted to the Church. "For a long time, the phenomenon of pedophilia has been tragically widespread in different sectors and various categories of people and various places, even non-Catholic," he said.
A Prediction
Internet
Chris Gillibrand of cathcon blog makes a prediction on the abuse crisis. He says: “All the abusers in Germany will be found to be progressive Catholics. There will not be one conservative cleric among them.”
