Curial Cardinal: In the face of sexual abuse by clerics there is a "temptation" to generalize, but "one must not pour the child out with the bathwater".
Vatican (kath.net/pl) "We know there are bad priests ... but we also know that there are very holy priests." In the face of sexual abuse by clerics there is a "temptation" to generalize, but "one does not pour the baby out with the bathwater.” This was said by Cardinal Peter Turkson, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Integral Development of Man, in an interview with a Polish TV channel, as "Crux now" reported. He also recalled that the Church "is far greater than any priest, bishop, or pope who serve at one time," referring to Christ.
The current Synod of Bishops is faced with a plethora of challenges, the papal counselor explained, because they are in the midst of an abuse crisis, whose victims are mostly young people.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
