"The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York is seeking permission for a $100 million mortgage on "some" of its Manhattan property to finance its compensation program for people sexually abused by priests, according to multiple news reports." for starters. Or how about nearly 800 bodies of children found in sewer in Ireland? How about clown masses? Or the stripping of beauty and solemnity from the churches and moving the Tabernacle off to the side? How about birth control? (Not abortion) Most everyone practices birth control in an ever more crowded  and expensive world. What has the Catholic Church to offer in the face of real time information? A one way ticket to secularism it seems. These are reason why our three kids have left. Painful issues must be answered.
