The Catholic Malaise
I’m listening to a broadcast on VPR about the currently exploding priest sexual scandal.
As a descendant of Irish people, I grew up Catholic. Total immersion: Mass every Sunday, 12 years of Catholic school, Altar Boy. The whole ball of wax. I even joined a Catholic fraternity in college.
I have to say that I never observed any hint of sexual abuse toward myself or toward anybody else, male or female.
