Sexual Abuse as a Pretext to Attack Confession.
Last November Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart ordered Catholic schools to conduct confessions - quote - "in an open setting in the full view of all participants, who are supervised by staff", this way putting into question the use of confessionals in order to allegedly protect the safety of the children.
In February, all five Australian metropolitan Archbishops told the federal child abuse royal commission, that they would endorse a national standard that removed the use of confessionals for children.

Take away the confessionals. It will not affect the sacrament itself. Doing so is symptomatic of the times we are living in and the hole the Church has dug for itself.
How far the Catholic Church has sunk as a direct result of the sexual abuse scandal that has cost billions of dollars worldwide with an immeasurable loss of moral authority and respect that it once held. How did all this happen and …More

How far the Catholic Church has sunk as a direct result of the sexual abuse scandal that has cost billions of dollars worldwide with an immeasurable loss of moral authority and respect that it once held. How did all this happen and when will things change, you ask? With the politically correct (read: liberal) bunch of girlymen who are currently leading the Catholic Church, it doesn't look hopeful.
