There are many ways in which the Church's abuse scandal and the way it has been handled by the bishops has killed: some victims commit suicide, some are spiritually ruined and dead for the rest of their lives, some are unable to relate to others well, some are unable to escape from nightmares and flashbacks, the careers of priests is devalued in society, the Church has lost members, trust, and credibility. But another thing that has been killed, removed and under a suspicious cloud, is casual and spontaneous physical warmth (innocent and not exploitive, of course) among people—something our world drastically, almost tragically, needs. Do the bishops realize the extent of the harm they have caused to propagate through the world?
