Isidore , Catholicism is odd. Sorry.

I've heard many Catholics strongly criticize their church on this matter, whereas most JWs tend to ignore the issue in their religion.
Most of the Catholics I know that critisize the church because of child abuse are EX Catholics. Current catholics tend to make exuses or go on about how good they are that they dealt with it.
My son went to a catholic school a couple of years ago, purely because my friend said it was a good school..I pulled him out after a few months because of a boy who was sexually abused in the toilets by a senior boy. I told the principle about it...he swept it under the carpet. Nothing much has changed. It just looks that way.
Oh, and by the way, my son thought the whole church thing was weird too....guess you have to be acclimated to accept religion as something other than ODD.

Wouldn't that be a good description toward all religions though ?

Might just be the ones that I know, liberal-minded Catholics who identify with the theology and tradition but disagree on many issues. And I'm not defending Catholicism as a whole, I know much is screwed up about it (which is why I never plan on being one). I just see some intellectual flexibility within the tradition that is not found in much more 'fundamentalist' religions.

Yes...after waiting for the principle to act...the principle did NOTHING about it.
