Hey all,

I grew up Catholic and have long since left the church. What I don't get is the lack of outcry given that the sex abuse was going on during his watch. Instead of dealing with it, everything was status quo. Send the offender to a new church. The set up is better than the witness protection program.

I have children and it makes me sick. The Pope it the sex abuse scandal is like a principal of a school that knows one of the teachers is violating a child but does nothing or just transfers the problem.

Would you look back on that principal and say what a great educator and person? I wouldn't and that's why I don't get the fact that it's so taboo to associate the Pope with the scandal and cover-up while he was captain of the ship. In the military they hold the top guy accountable.

Can anyone enlighten me?
