Three good questions

Saw three good questions in NCR today - at the end of an article by Sr. Maureen Paul Turlish., S.N.D.deN (Church leaders are spinning their wheels (I'd call it Church leaders are still spinning)):

  • What are the systemic and endemic flaws in church structure and governance that gave rise to the continuing crisis of sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church?
  • What was it that gave bishops and their subordinates the idea that they had license to act with such utter abandon and disregard for the safety and protection of children; their bodies as well as their souls?
  • And is it really necessary for bishops to call down God's wrath on another newspaper when what they should be doing is "besieging" their fellow hierarchs to initiate the reform and renewal that is so necessary?
  • Have they learned so little in eight years?
Good questions indeed. Are you reading this oh faithful spinmeister of the Diocese of Toledo?
