On why I rail against the abusers in the Catholic Church


This is an example of why:

"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

--Elie Wiesel, from his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, in 1986
