Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Are Christians any different than non-Christians in their response and treatment of ministers, priests, bishops or clergy who have publicly sinned or committed crimes? When these things happen, do you stand in line to throw the first stone?
Once again, we see headlines about the horrendous abuse of young people by priests and the cover-up by bishops. What on earth are we in the pews supposed to do in response to these revelations? They are disheartening to the point of possibly shaking the very foundations of our faith.
