Ladies and gentlemen, the Catholic Church

From the news last evening: U.S. priests accused in 700 sex cases in 2011: report. Forget, for now, conveniently, the Crusades and Inquisitions of the last 600 years and all the people tortured and/or killed by the Catholic Church. Let's focus, instead, right this moment, on the current state of the Catholic Church. In 2011 alone, 700 claims of abuse were put up before our courts in one nation--the US--alone. First, imagine how many more cases there are out there that weren't reported. Statistically, it's estimated that the people who do file charges are only 10% of those actually committed. Second, imagine what's out there in the rest of the world. It's long since time that the Catholics in the pews stood up and said they won't take this any longer, that they won't tolerate any further abuse.
