From La Croix-
Many Catholics are overwhelmed, shocked and appalled. They are
traumatized by the sex abuse crisis that is tainting their Church. And
so am I. But what can we do?
Above all, we must express our compassion and empathy for the victims, whose suffering is much greater than ours.
This
crisis demands that we transform the Church, which is made up of us
all. This transformation can only happen by returning to the Gospel, but
it must also involve tangible changes in the ways in which we live in
the Church and society.
Last August, Pope Francis wrote to all of
God's people, appealing to them to take action against clericalism,
which he perceives as the source of the abuse perpetrated by priests,
bishops and religious superiors.
I hope to add my modest part to his appeal.
