Granted, I've never been a practicing Catholic, but...
The newer practicing generation of Catholics should be outraged, protesting in the streets. Effigies of Cardinal Law should be burning in Boston. Parishoners should be withholding any money they give to their parishes. (Boston's Catholic Charities is already feeling the pinch.)
Yet, the hard-liners are still in control. The ones that believe in "saving" marriages at all costs, abhor divorcees, and probably hated Vatican II.
And then you have the apathetic types like me, who got bored with the Church's unwillingness to change and stood on the other side of the Church's line on social issues (birth control, abortion).
What I simply cannot understand is why the Church wants to protect a vile few while exposing its finest servants to ridicule.
