re: #211 Decatur Deb

What you said is something to take into account. But also to be taken into account is that this is not an isolated incident. The Catholic Church hierarchy has been covering up incidents in multiple countries for decades. And for an organization that has a primary basis in claiming to provide moral and spiritual guidance it is a failing that goes beyond major.

And there has been no clear internal effort to seriously deal with the issue. Sweep it under the rug, blame the victim, and distract by blaming external “enemies”. This is denial, not healing.
