re: Report: Archbishop Gregory Aymond covered up clergy abuse for years, continues to do so

The men (priests) who did these heinous and despicable things, and anyone who played any part in covering it up deserve to be punished. But they are just men (priests), The Catholic Church is MUCH bigger than any person or group of people. It is the Church Jesus Himself founded and has been a driver of more good on Earth than any other institution. The Church has endured MANY scandals in the past, will endure through these gross injustices, and will endure through future horrors and injustices. Just because men profess a faith, or hold a certain office, does not mean that are incapable of sin. It's abhorrent, and should be called so, but the Catholic Faith is the most beautiful faith and the One true faith, and will endure because the Holy Spirit and Christ are in the "Church" and at the head of The Church.

The devil is also ever present in the Church as well as running rampant in our world right now. We need, now more than ever, God's grace to fill our Church and to fill the hearts of the Faithful men and women who make up the Church. We need to remain prayerful.
