Although I am Catholic, I have never commented on the issues the Catholic Church has recently faced, although responsible for so much more.
This article “A Church Mary Can Love” By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF Published: April 17, 2010 in the New York Times I believe says it all….I take the liberty to paste the part I enjoyed very much:
….when you read about the scandals, remember that the Vatican is not the same as the Catholic Church. Ordinary lepers, prostitutes and slum-dwellers may never see a cardinal, but they daily encounter a truly noble Catholic Church in the form of priests, nuns and lay workers toiling to make a difference.
It’s high time for the Vatican to take inspiration from that sublime — even divine — side of the Catholic Church, from those church workers whose magnificence lies not in their vestments, but in their selflessness. They’re enough to make the Virgin Mary smile.
