WHOA! This is never good. A priest abusing children. Never good. Ever.

I am Catholic and it does shame me to know this happened, and probably still is happening, in the Catholic church. Shameful indeed. But it doesn’t just happen in the Catholic church. It happens all over. But I digress….

This news anchor is a brave man coming forth like he has done to admit being abused by a sick, perverted man who is (or was) a Catholic priest.

The abuse is WRONG. There is no excusing whatsoever. The problem I have with this particular story has to do with the anchorman blaming his parents? Or maybe I’m just reading it wrong. Here,

I felt trapped. My parents would be horrified to know their failure at marriage put their son at risk to be sexually abused and that the man abusing me was the high school chaplain and beloved priest.

His parents divorced and sent him to a priest for counseling. So is he blaming his parents?

Anyway, it’s wrong and the priest should be in jail. Period.
