I'm a practising RC Mancie, and in someways you have a point, I'm not one of those people who thinks that everything that comes from the Vatican is right, especially in this day and age. I can't understand why the Vatican seem to condone abuse of this kind, its wrong in any language or culture. I also have a problem with the vatican's stance on contraception, I can see no point in bringing unwanted children into this world at the whim of people who make the rules but don't play the game. Maybe the answer to both these issues would be to allow married men to become priests, we are now in the 21st century, yet the catholic church remains in the dark ages, I think its time it moved with the times and the needs of a modern world
