Holy Hell [See also other articles by Gustavo Arellano.] Editor’s note: Gustavo Arellano received more than 100 e-mails regarding his coverage of the Catholic sex-abuse scandal, many praising him for his "inherently moral and compassionate" character. Here are the other four: Yes, there are some corrupt individuals within the Church, but does that mean the entire Church itself is corrupt? One thing I’ve always wondered: Is the percentage of child molesters within the Church higher, lower or the same as the percentage of child molesters in any other large organization? Probably the same, but because accepting spiritual guidance from something other than drugs, alcohol, etc. is not fashionable these days, the Church is a great target. Tricia Mattson The editor responds: Interesting point, Tricia, but allow me to offer another reason why the Church is a "great target." It’s because the Church protected priests who raped innocent children. Again, and I want to be clear on this so I’m going to go slow: the CHURCH protected PRIESTS who RAPED innocent CHILDREN. Whatcha think?

Jon Webb Gustavo Arellano responds: Jon, it’s intellectual bullies like you who give lefties a bad name and turned the Midwest states red. As for you, Ron, I have a JOB in journalism. I found little real criticism in your criticism. Try stopping. |
