The Catholic Church has a long running cover-up scam. I know some people say but we agree with them about fighting same-sex marriage laws (Toeivah Bills). <br /><br />I say the hell with the Catholic Church. My proposal is to promote the slogan "THE WAR AGAINST TOEVAH STARTS AT HOME."<br /><br />In fact I have proposed that and related slogans for use at the Agudah convention happening this weekend in NYC which does not devote a single session to sex abuse even though the event claims to be addressing the major problems of klal yisroel. <br /><br />See: frumfollies.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/slogans/Yerachmiel Lopinhttp://frumfollies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-43991817972074859892009-11-27T06:36:17.023+02:002009-11-27T06:36:17.023+02:00The church also thinks they are supposed to be bet...The church also thinks they are supposed to be better, in their self-image.<br /><br />I suppose it is not enough to strive for spiritual accomplishment in order to achieve it. And the more you become anchored in a "spiritual accomplishment organisation", the more difficult it becomes, because as soon as there is an institution, there are also non-spiritual interests at stake.<br /><br />By the way: my private opinion is that the issue of sexual abuse is very difficult to tackle indeed, and I think that in most cases (religious or general society) there is a wide gap between the self-image (that says that these kinds of things should not happen) and reality (where people close their eyes when it happens in their closed surroundings).<br /><br />So in a sense it is very positive that all those cases come to light and are pursuied in justice. On the other hand: of all the people who cry out that it is a scandal, I suppose that very few would be able to act right in case they were confronted with an actual case. It is plainly not simple.JInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-17227435550213205972009-11-27T01:51:21.854+02:002009-11-27T01:51:21.854+02:00One reason is because some supposedly frum organiz...One reason is because some supposedly frum organizations are shamelessly imitating the Church's behavior.<br /><br />We are supposed to be better.
