I have already been praying for you in the US, directly affected by all this scandal, but as Pope Francis seems to be under its shadow as well (to put it mildly), we are all similarly affected.

I understand your concern about perhaps bringing the evil into too sharp a focus; scandalizing those who are perhaps not quite ready for dealing with the bitter truth... but when are we truly ready? The commitment to focus on Christ instead of the sins of the Church should be strengthened. I have recently often thought that our generation has been spoilt by the long reign of Pope John Paul II (and Benedict). I truly thought that the popes and bishops who openly sinned and scandalized the faithful were a thing from the past - Renaissance, Middle Ages (or say, the weak and compromising bishops in Communist times who punished the most active priests or gave information to the Secret Police who mostly lived before I became an adult) - and now I realize there has been no such guarantee given to us. Let us pray for strength of faith and hope and our priests and bishops, I have no other answer. Agneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047890626000373572noreply@blogger.com
