Save the church

I am a Catholic and I am embarrassed by the way the Vatican is handling these allegations of child sex abuse by priests.
I can only shudder to think the kind of cover-up that may, and I say this completely hypothetically, have been enforced in other parts of the world, especially in third-world countries.
I have been reasonably closely involved with the Catholic Church in India to see first-hand how a belief becomes an institution and then that institution becomes the belief. It’s no one’s fault, it’s just evolution.
Only the church – us - can save the church.
