Hi, guys —

  • Can I still become a Catholic if I don't believe it's OK for priests to molest children?

Dear Jeff —

Don't paint all Church members [and/or] clergy with one paint brush.

We don't leave the Truth, Our Lord entrusted to St. Peter and his successors to safeguard and protect, due to Judas behavior of some of its members. I'm sorry and I apologize if you were hurt by scandalous members of the clergy in the Church.

If you want what is best for yourself, let go of the grudges and biases, otherwise you'll sound
ill-informed; attacking a Church that doesn't exist.

Based on the actions the Church and actions various Catholic dioceses have taken,
it should be obvious to anyone with a brain, that the Church deplores child abuse by anyone.

Mike
